Sam Bankman-Fried testifies he ‘didn’t have the time’ for haircuts or long-term relationship with Caroline Ellison

• Sam Bankman-Fried addressed his breakup with Caroline Ellison on the witness stand Friday.
• He said he was too busy for a long-term relationship, which he was historically bad at.
• He was also too busy for haircuts, he testified under oath.

On the witness stand in his criminal trial Friday, Sam Bankman-Fried testified he was too busy running companies worth billions of dollars to get deeply involved in women and haircuts.

Bankman-Fried previously ran both FTX, a cryptocurrency exchange, and Alameda Research, a crypto hedge fund. Federal prosecutors in Manhattan, where the trial is being held, allege Bankman-Fried ran the companies in a way that defrauded customers and investors by comingling funds, ultimately in a way where Bankman-Fried took customer money to enrich himself.
