    Sam Bankman-Fried’s lawyers argue that Judge Lewis Kaplan unfairly limited the evidence that was allowed in court, including that Bankman-Fried had relied on lawyers in making his decisions. Also stealing all that money wasn’t really that bad because his victims were eventually repaid.

    Oops, the SEC posted a draft of a Gary Gensler speech.

    They’ve pulled it down, but not before it got archived. Sample comment:

Put simply: You probably won’t get what you want, you’ll likely buy at the wrong time and it will be hard to hold for the long term.
