Jury Selection Complete for Bankman-Fried Fraud Trial; Crypto Industry Awaits Verdict

A jury of 12, including a physician's assistant, librarian, and nurse, will decide if Sam Bankman-Fried committed fraud.

Jury selection wrapped up early on the second day of Bankman-Fried's trial in New York federal court.

Nearly 50 potential jurors shared details like occupations and education during voir dire.

Some see the trial as a proxy for the crypto industry after excesses led to last year's crash.

Insiders view centralized, opaque FTX as embodying everything crypto stood against.
