SBF’s legal defense is being funded with Alameda money he gave his father
Well most fraud trials involve  a person stealing directly from their company.<p>Atleast SBF took the extra step of first funneling money to Alameda and then directing Alameda to send it back to him and then send it to his dad as a tax free gift.<p>That way he could honestly say he personally has no money left.<p>That atleast makes it harder for FTX to claw back that money.<p>One interesting thing a lawyer pointed out to me is that a lawyer has a duty to ensure that the money used to pay them wasn't from the proceeds of a crime.<p>I wonder how SBF's lawyers have done thier diligence in this case and satisified themselves that this wont' get them into trouble with the state bar.
