"So FTX was solvent. Who cares?" Jurors. My jury cared. Why else would prosecutors make insolvency their headline? Why else would they get all evidence of solvency banned from trial? FTX always had more assets than debts. But the gov't painted a backdrop of FTX underwater for an entire year before it collapsed. Anything I said or did after mid-2021 was presented to the jury as if I 'knew' FTX was secretly billions in the red when I said/did it. And Judge Kaplan prohibited me from showing the jury that the gov't was wrong. That is not what a fair trial looks like.
