The law catches up with Sam Bankman-Fried

BBC World Service - Tech Life, The law catches up with Sam Bankman-Fried

The former crypto boss is arrested and charged with fraud: what next for the industry?

The disgraced boss of the collapsed crypto firm Sam Bankman-Fried is arrested and charged with fraud - is it the death knell for the industry?

Sam Bankman-Fried is arrested and charged days after telling our reporter Joe Tidy he was confident he would avoid prosecution. We discuss the question Joe asked Sam - has he killed crypto? 

Also this week: the dismayed reaction of the global charities that sat on Twitter's now disbanded Trust and Safety Council. As China goes to the World Trade Organisation over the USA's restrictions on its semi-conductor industry, we ask if there is any end in sight to the so-called chip wars. And, the actor Andonis Anthony on what is it like bringing a video game character to life.
