DOJ Moves to Exclude Expert Witnesses in Bankman-Fried Case, Citing Unreliability and Invasion of Purview

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed a motion to exclude the testimony of all expert witnesses in the Sam Bankman-Fried case. The DOJ argues that the proposed experts' testimonies are unreliable and invade the court's and jury's purview. The prosecutors provided arguments for why each expert's testimony should be rejected, including improper interpretation of terms of service and unnecessary duplication of testimony.
