1. Day 12 was all about Dave Kleiman, some of the witnesses called to the stand knew his medical history very well, others were close friends and business partners of Dave Kleiman

The day started with Dr. McIntyre contuing to lay out Dave's...
2. medical history, the big takeaway here was that Dave was very ill, could not do much physical activity, and needed medical treatment daily.

During the cross-examination of Dave, Plaintiff's lawyer pushed back by saying that even though Dave could not do physical activity...
3. that he was very capable mentally and academically, and that he was often observed working on his computer in the hospital–Plaintiff lawyers tried to make the subtle point that he could have been working on bitcoin from his computer in the hospital.

#KleimanvWright day 5 recap

1. Rivero Finished cross-examining Ira Kleiman and afterward, the plaintiffs did a redirect for Kleiman and 2 video depositions were played by the plaintiffs after that.

Here's the Jist of it.

JW resigned from his position as Director and CFO at the CSW company when he felt like fraud was going on and no longer understood where funding was coming from
2.5 important to note: JW has a chip on his shoulder, said he never receive any payment from his time as director and CFO even though he was the suppose to be the second-highest paid employee of the CSW company on paper
