Fun Easter egg in FBI agent’s testimony today!

The majority of FBI agent Richard Busik’s testimony seemed geared toward establishing jurisdiction — he was explaining cell phone pings that occurred in New York City — so I left it out of my recap.

But in order to tie Sam Bankman-Fried to the cell phone number, CoinDesk reports how the prosecution picked perhaps the funniest possible email: the Bahamian Prime Minister asking for a favor.

Screenshot of an email from Bahamaian government official: “Sam, my son Christopher is being engaged as a consultant for an NFT entity that is considering your platform. grateful if you were to take a call to discuss. my son is copied on this email, thanks.”
