He was accused of using customer deposits on the crypto trading platform FTX to cover losses at his hedge fund, pay off loans and buy lavish real estate, among other personal expenses. With his head down, Bankman-Fried appeared overcome with emotion as he stood between his lawyers, who seemed to comfort him.
