whether the memo’s use of that quotation was fair in that summary depends on all of Ellison’s testimony at trial
And I think it was not fair because as far as I can tell, that quotation was the strongest piece of evidence the prosecution had that SBF directed Ellison to use customer funds in an improper way.
I think all that justifies a strong starting point that everyone else got it right, and it would take a lot of convincing analysis of ~ all of the prosecution’s evidence to move the needle on that.
I agree. I don’t expect anyone to take my word for it on the basis of a couple of anonymous comments. But I’m trying to make a start on this forum because I am someone who is “inclined to spend days reading over the transcripts” and much else besides and given the conclusions I’ve come to, I’m not sure what else to do.
