About
Trial testimony identified Sam Trabucco as an Alameda trader who became co-CEO with Caroline Ellison in 2021. Ellison placed him in a discussion about financing the purchase of Binance's FTX stake and in Signal communications concerning payments connected to unfreezing Alameda accounts in China. One related chat was admitted as Government Exhibit 1631, with the court instructing jurors that the possible-bribe evidence did not concern a charged crime and could be considered only for limited purposes.
Other testimony and exhibits connected Trabucco to Alameda's trading and risk discussions. Bankman-Fried said Trabucco participated in the Vertex trading chat and remained on a later hedging thread, though he was commenting little and was effectively out of the picture by then. Cross-examination also addressed a January 2022 chat with Trabucco and Ellison about OXY and MAPS purchases; Bankman-Fried disputed that his messages amounted to trading directions.
