Summary
Sam Bankman-Fried, the former CEO of FTX, has objected to prosecutors' request to allow a Ukraine-based FTX customer to testify remotely in his criminal trial. The customer, referred to as "FTX Customer-1," cannot travel out of Ukraine due to the ongoing war. Prosecutors argue that international witness testimony is important to understand the global nature of FTX. Bankman-Fried's trial is set to begin on Tuesday and last until November 9th.
