Prosecutors in Sam Bankman-Fried trial compare defense argument to ‘Dumb and Dumber’

Prosecutors in the Sam Bankman-Fried trial compared the defense argument that there was no underlying securities fraud to “Dumb and Dumber,” referencing the 1994 comedy starring Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels. The defense argued that the SEC failed to prove their case and rely on a statute of limitations. Prosecutors countered by calling the argument a “tenuous thread” akin to Dumb and Dumber’s infamous “so you’re telling me there’s a chance” line.
