The trial of one-time crypto billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried, in courtroom 26A in downtown Manhattan, was nearly a month of courtroom drama.

People raced to squeeze into the wooden benches, when Judge Lewis Kaplan announced at about 7:37 pm Thursday that the jury had reached a verdict after just over four hours of deliberations, almost as long as it took him to instruct the jury on the seven charges facing Bankman-Fried. The foreperson, juror number 4, stood up and read out: guilty on all counts.
