Interesting, thanks !
Not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect is available as an affirmative defense in Federal criminal charges, but probably not in the inevitable civil lawsuits.
I would expect that this sort of argument would be most useful as a mitigating factor in the sentencing calculation.
Get ready for jurors to be dismissed because they have a lazy nephew who takes Ritalin.

Usually, unintentional intoxication. In my jdx we sentenced a guy to death for a multiple murder and arson that I am sure he really has no memory of because of the handle of vodka he drank first.
There may be a "Ritalin defense" attempt but it's exceptionally difficult to claim involuntary impairment over years of conspiratorial conduct.

What's the basis for that reporting ?
If from SBF himself, you should be prepared to be skeptical.
