If you want a really detailed overview of his testimony and cross-examination: https://www.youtube.com/@molly0xfff/streams https://www.youtube.com/@molly0xfff/streams > do they know where the money went Not all of it (at least, not for the trial). They showed significant components of it as part of the trial, but they don't need to show a super detailed breakdown of every single dollar as part of the trial, so I don't think we got that. > If not, how did they prove intent (I assume they proved intent)? Circumstantial evidence and witness testimony mostly. Including a cross-examination of Sam that thoroughly undermined his credibility.

Carly Reilly of Overpriced JPEGs also did a fantastic job of debriefing each day of the trial: https://www.youtube.com/@overpricedjpegs https://www.youtube.com/@overpricedjpegs Extremely informative and fun to watch (if you can get past the "sponsor breaks" for NFT platforms and the like).

Did he have the right to say nothing at all in the cross-examination?

  No. As a defendant you have a right to not testify at all. You can decide not to take the stand. No one can request you take the stand, and the prosecution absolutely cannot make arguments about your decision not to take the stand in front of the jury. But if you do take the stand, then the prosecution gets to ask you questions that you must answer (unless there’s a sustained objection about the specific question). This is why so often defendants do not testify. Testifying on direct (when the defendant’s lawyer is the one asking questions) will almost always help the defendant. But the risks created by exposing oneself to cross examination are massive, so most choose not to take the stand.
