            <p>Bankman-Fried’s legal team has not disclosed the specific focus of his upcoming testimony. However, the embattled founder would look to demonstrate his innocence regarding the alleged crimes and also assert that he consistently acted in good faith during his tenure at the helm of the now-defunct exchange.</p> 
            <p>Concurrently, the U.S. government intends to call an additional witness, FBI agent Mark Troiano, to strengthen their case against the disgraced founder. Troiano’s testimony will center on the internal communications within the defunct crypto platform and their utilization of the auto-delete feature. Prosecutors are expected to conclude their case tomorrow, Oct. 26.</p> 
            <p>Over the last three weeks, prosecutors have revealed <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/sbf-trial-day-2-prosecutions-opening-statement-paints-sbf-as-a-fraud-mastermind-defense-claims-complete-innocence/">shocking details of</a> how SBF ran the bankrupt crypto platform and its sister trading company, Alameda Research. Former top executives of these firms, including &nbsp;Nishad Singh, Caroline Ellison, and Gary Wang, have detailed their roles in the crimes that led to the collapse of FTX.</p>
