Zane Tackett is the former head of institutional sales at FTX.

In this episode, Tackett recounts his experience working with Sam Bankman-Fried at FTX and explains how the exchange's terms of service blow a hole in SBF's criminal defense.

Although SBF claims he is not guilty of fraud, Tackett says "it's obvious that he knew what he was doing."
