TechFlow news: SBF's legal team and U.S. prosecutors have submitted revised proposals regarding potential jury instructions to be considered in the ongoing criminal trial of the founder of the failed cryptocurrency exchange.
Prosecutors are asking the court to clearly state that a defendant’s intention to repay does not constitute a defense, and that violating the law due to moral or political beliefs does not constitute a defense either.
In addition, the defense emphasizes that under U.S. law, only acts specifically defined as criminal can be prosecuted, and regarding fraud charges, the defense argues that a fraudulent scheme must have the purpose of obtaining money or property.
SBF's trial will be paused for one week and is expected to resume on October 26.
