About This Archive

What the archive covers, what is missing, and how to cite the record.

What this is

The Sam Bankman-Fried Case Archive is a searchable edition of the federal criminal trial record in United States of America v. Samuel Bankman-Fried, No. 1:22-cr-00673-LAK. It covers pretrial proceedings on October 3, 2023 through the verdict proceedings on November 2, 2023.

The record covers 19 trial days: 18 available court-reporter volumes and one source-unavailable conference day. The archive contains 62 transcript pages, 122 proceedings, and 35,246 transcript lines.

Primary source

The trial transcript comes from 18 federal court-reporter PDFs associated with the public docket.

The PDFs are not republished here. Reporter page and line numbers accompany the HTML transcript so readers can check passages against the source volumes.

The October 3 volume states that jury selection followed under separate cover; that transcript is not included. The documented October 25 conference transcript and reporter pages 2028–2039 are also unavailable. Nothing in the available record identifies the missing material as sealed.

Fifteen other reporter-page ranges are expressly marked sealed in the available volumes and contain no transcript text here.

Supporting material

Summaries, profiles, timelines, and other guides are separate from the transcript. Some are produced with AI assistance and may contain errors or miss important context; use the transcript and cited records for important questions.

Accuracy and corrections

  • The HTML transcript and editorial guides may contain errors.
  • Reporter corrections, sealed ranges, and other source markings remain part of the transcript.
  • Timeline entries cite the court, agency, transcript, or opinion source for each event.
