SBF's lawyer completed the closing argument and insisted on defending SBF not guilty.

SBF's attorney Mark S. Cohen completed his closing argument in court on Wednesday evening local time, requesting the court and jury to find that SBF acted in "good faith" throughout its operation of FTX and Alameda Research, and therefore cannot be found guilty of fraud. In his closing argument, the attorney stated that it was "real-world miscommunications," "mistakes," and "delays" that harmed other members of FTX and Bankman-Fried's crypto empire, not intentional fraud.
