Earlier in the trial, Yedidia told jurors that after fixing an accounting bug in the summer of 2022, he warned the crypto entrepreneur that Alameda Research owed $8 billion to FTX.
“I don’t remember him saying it that way,” Bankman-Fried said today. The answer rankled U.S. District Judge Lewis Kapaln, who has been frustrated at times by Bankman-Fried’s evasiveness.
“Mr. Bankman-Fried, did he tell you in words or in substance after the bug was fixed that Alameda still owed $8 billion?” Kaplan interjected.
“I don’t recall it being on or around that day in words or substance,” Bankman-Fried replied.
“I didn’t ask you about that day,” Kaplan said.
“Oh I apologize. Eventually, yes,” said Bankman-Fried, who maintains he didn’t get concrete knowledge of the $8 billion hole until the fall of 2022.
