Sam Bankman-Fried's defense strategy in his trial is coming into focus as his legal team seeks to reframe the narrative around his actions at FTX. The defense aims to raise reasonable doubt by challenging key witnesses' testimonies and sowing doubt in their credibility, but faces hurdles in piecing together a cohesive story as the prosecution's case remains strong.
