AUSA Sassoon: “If you’re embezzling money, of course you’re not going to hire a chief risk officer…”

Well, by late afternoon, the jury will have SBF’s felonies case in their hands, for a verdict / decision. Right now, USDC Judge Kaplan is reading the jury instructions to them. Ubers are going to be on tap (paid for by the courts) — and free pizza dinners will be called in.

This jury will deliberate until at least 8:15 pm EDT tonight — and perhaps substantially later — if they decide on their own to do so, and so inform Judge Kaplan.

In any event, AUSA Sassoon’s pithy quote in rebuttal, set forth in the headline above… will ring in their ears throughout the night.

It would not surprise me to see a verdict around 9 pm NYC time; 8 pm here in the City of Big Shoulders.

Of course, that verdict will be guilty on at least two felony counts.

Then we will await a sentencing date — but over a decade will be highly likely, as the final outcome (he will be treated at least as severely as Elizabeth Holmes).

Onward, grinning. His parents? Perhaps… next?
