Is Crypto Golden Boy The Trial Of The Century?

We are now quite familiar with Sam Bankman-Fried being convicted last month on federal criminal charges for wire fraud and money laundering. What is mind-boggling is how FTX's multibillion-dollar cryptocurrency empire could implode overnight and tragically leave thousands of customers in financial distress - maybe a Netflix series in the making. Rachel Humphreys and Caitlin Ostroff, the Wall Street Journal's producer and reporter, reflect on their month at court and answer outstanding questions about what happened at the FTX trial.
