Prosecutor Slams SBF as Greedy Fraudster, Defense Says Mistakes But No Crime in Emotional Closings of FTX Trial

Prosecutor portrayed SBF as a greedy "movie villain" who lied and defrauded investors from the start. Defense said he made mistakes but had no criminal intent.

Prosecution highlighted SBF's "public lies" about keeping customer funds separate as evidence of fraud.

Defense argued SBF's inner circle witnesses testified against him to get lighter sentences, said "poor risk management is not a crime."

Prosecutor criticized SBF's claim of just "messy accounting", said his memory lapses on the stand were lies.

SBF appeared emotional at end of closings. His parents shook and cried during defense speech, thanked attorneys after.
