Judge Kaplan Keeps Tight Grip on SBF Fraud Trial

U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan is presiding over Sam Bankman-Fried's fraud trial in New York federal court.

The 78-year-old judge has overseen other high-profile trials recently involving Trump, Spacey, etc.

Kaplan has made quips and jokes to lighten the mood amid dense testimony.

The judge revoked Bankman-Fried's bail after finding he likely tampered with witnesses.
