I expect to see the defense arguing utilitarianism and the EA belief system as a justification for the excessive risks Sam took with FTX customer funds. While this could not serve as a legal justification for fraud it could create a reasonable doubt relative to Sam's intent to defraud. The defense strategy here has to be to make their best attempt to turn just one or two jurors.
Sam Bankman-Fried will testify in his own defense
