The problem with your description is that he only acts like that when he is questioned about criminal and unethical acts he has committed lr when someone challenges him. He acts completely different when he's treated as the smartest guy in the room.

I was eager and willing to watch the whole thing, but it isn't available.

When I read the 2nd hand accounts of it, all I see are people making fun of a person who I see as autistic. That has made me not even read up on all the 2nd hand accounts, so I can't draw the more sweeping generalizations that you feel comfortable making. mea culpa

and any person is going to be more uncomfortable when questioned about the illegal parts. I'm simply saying that will exaggerate the autism experience and make him look extra guilty compared to a smooth talking guilty huckster.

I do believe he's guilty.

I didn't make any generalizations, much less sweeping ones. His behavior on the stand and in interviews is an objective fact.

I'm not a medical professional, but he actually doesn't seem autistic to me. For one, he is rather socially and emotionally manipulative.

One needs to also remember that he is a drug addict. I'm sure it hasn't been easy being in jail becuase of that.

Also, you can find transcripts from the trial. I'm not sure if there are official sources that anyone has access to, but here's one I found from his October 31 testimony: https://blog.bitmex.com/sam-bankman-fried-trial-transcript-3...
