  "These observations are borne out by the record. As explained in this brief, many of the judge’s rulings were not just erroneous but unbalanced—repeatedly putting a thumb on the scale to help the government and thwart the defense. But that is not all. The judge continually ridiculed Bankman-Fried during trial, repeatedly criticized his demeanor, and signaled his disbelief of Bankman-Fried’s testimony. See supra at 17-18. Equally troubling, he repeatedly mocked defense counsel and discredited their cross-examinations in front of the jury. E.g., A-756 (“let’s stop that, please”; “What part of ‘let’s stop that’ was obscure?”); A-745 (“Could we get to the point.”); A-879 (“This is not an exam for new eyeglasses. I assume he can read it just as well as everybody in the jury box can read it…You can ask him who Johnny Podres was. Let’s move along. He pitched for the Brooklyn Dodgers.”). "
