10:04 am
Judge Clarke: You will begin your deliberations. If you have questions, they should be sent to me in writing. I have prepared a verdict form for you to use. Your foreperson will fill it out, all jurors must sign the form.
Judge Clarke: Jurors, the defendants did not testify in this case. You may not consider this against them in your deliberations... It is sufficient if the prosecution proves that one or more material misrepresentations was made as part of a scheme to defraud
AUSA: Let's continue with the defendants' message with other people
James Peraire-Bueno's lawyer Trefz: How do the slashing fees work - if the MEV is greater than the penalty, would a rational validator try to extract maximum value?
On the stand: SDNY Special Agent DeLeassa Penland
AUSA: Mr. Hoffmeister, does this show each transfer or is it a summary?
