Sam \u201cSBF\u201d Bankman-Fried will be no match for government prosecutors, who will poke holes in his defense when he takes the stand in his criminal trial, said SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci.<\/p>\n
In an Oct. 25 interview on CNBC\u2019s Last Call, Scaramucci said the United States Department of Justice prosecutors will \u201cpoint out all the contradictions\u201d he believes Bankman-Fried has made, which will \u201cadd years to his sentence.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s gonna get skinned alive; there\u2019s no way to escape. He thinks he\u2019s going to outfox the prosecutors, but they\u2019re very, very well experienced with this stuff.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Scaramucci believed there\u2019s been a \u201cwhole revision of history\u201d on Bankman-Fried, as around a year ago he was thought of as a \u201ccongenial nerd who was going to give all his money away,\u201d but the testimony of former FTX executives showed \u201cthere was malevolence.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe thought he was going to take that money, and he was so smart that he would out-trade the market and put the money back and end up as a half-a-trillionaire, but it never works like that,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n

In September 2022, FTX Ventures acquired a 30% stake in SkyBridge, which Scaramucci is trying to buyback from the now-bankrupt firm.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In January, he told Cointelegraph he thought Bankman-Fried was \u201cthe Mark Zuckerberg of crypto\u201d before the allegations that the former FTX CEO\u00a0misappropriated customer funds.<\/p>\n
On CNBC, Scaramucci said he took Bankman-Fried to heads of state, which he was now \u201cembarrassed\u201d about, but at the time, he saw \u201ca smart guy who was well intended.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s gonna get nailed here going on the stand,\u201d Scaramucci added. \u201cIt\u2019s a very bad move for him.\u201d<\/p>\n
