Howard Fischer was quoted in a recent NY Post article "Sam Bankman-Fried’s ex-lover Caroline Ellison may be star witness at his NYC trial starting this week"

Bankman-Fried’s lawyers will surely harp on Ellison’s cooperation deal with the feds and argue that she cannot be trusted because she is diverting attention from her own criminality and has been promised a lighter sentence for testifying. “This is one of those rare cases where the ego of the defendant may lead him to unwisely make the choice to testify in his own defense. If that happens, I think that will probably help the prosecution,” said Fischer.
