I watched it, am plugged into the crypto universe and still have no memory of it. Do we expect people to remember every obscure commercial they saw? Coinbase is another story because the QR code was memorable but I think it's also higher profile than FTX ever was in the US.

I wouldn't expect them to remember it, but I think there's a non zero chance the average US citizen/juror has heard of FTX/SBF, given how heavily they advertised. MLB umpires wore a FTX logo for example, and was to replace American Airlines as the sponsor (FTX Arena) of the Miami heat's stadium.

There's a big difference between "I've seen an FTX commercial/Logo on TV" and "I know who SBF is and what FTX's value prop as a company was" and yet another difference between that and "I know who SBF is, I had money on FTX, I know what Alameda Research was and I know what podcasts SBF has been on lately."

The later group is extremely small and is most likely not going to get called into a jury.
