Identified as "Juror 16," Letterman went through the standard juror questioning process. He initially made a joke about his residence but clarified it. Letterman mentioned his occupation at Netflix, his son attending college, and his interests. Despite progressing through the selection process, he was dismissed when the prosecution exercised a peremptory strike. The case details are unknown, but fraud in the crypto world has increased in recent years. In 2023, crypto was involved in a record 87% of all investment fraud losses, amounting to $3.96 billion.
