The judge eventually permitted one additional question, a question that revealed a surprising twist in the case. Cohen’s query to Ellison regarding Bankman-Fried’s honesty early in their relationship led to an unexpected admission from the witness. Ellison acknowledged that she had come to believe Bankman-Fried had been “right” about some of his early statements.
The courtroom remains on the edge of its seat as the trial unfolds, promising more twists and revelations in the coming days.
