It's the end of the week, Friday. It was a short two-day week, but actually very long.

It still feels very long, in part because the press corps has not slept the last two days.

Yeah, the reporters have been relentless, and today was the second day that Sam Bankman

freed took the stand in his own defence. But really, it felt like the first day, didn't

Freen tells his side of the story.
