Howard Fischer was quoted by CNN Business on Sam Bankman-Fried verdict.

"Bankman-Fried has an outsized appetite and tolerance for risk," said Howard Fischer, a partner at the law firm Moses Singer and a former SEC attorney.

"Testifying is hard work. It is not just getting the details of the story right, but learning how to present yourself under questioning, and dealing with the stress of cross-examination," Fischer said. "Optimally, one would want to engage in months of practice before mock juries before taking the stand."
