Bankman-Fried Appears in Court for Day 1 of Fraud Trial, Draws Crypto Crowd and Skeptics

Bankman-Fried appeared noticeably leaner with a new haircut, less jittery than before. He spoke little, mostly conferring with lawyers.

The courthouse was packed with journalists, influencers, skeptics - described as a "crypto prom."

Potential jurors shared crypto investment losses; one asked about potential sentence.

Witness list includes former executives, family, investors, Anthony Scaramucci.

Six-week trial expected but could end sooner. Jury selection continues into second day.
