SBF lawyers seek jury to consider role of UK law in governing FTX's terms of service

On October 31st, SBF's lawyers attempted again to persuade the supervising jury to consider the role of UK law in managing FTX's terms of service, hoping that this could lead to a "not guilty" verdict on some of the fraud charges faced by SBF. "According to the (UK) government's theory, in order for theft to occur, there must be a trust, trust relationship or similar relationship between FTX and its customers," a document including proposed jury instructions said, "FTX's relationship with its customers is governed by the terms of service, which are in turn governed by...UK law"; another set of documents provided cases from the UK.
