Hot Take
Despite the request from Sam Bankman-Fried’s legal team, it seems unlikely that he will regain his freedom during weekdays. The poor conditions at Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center and the lack of access to evidence have made it challenging for him to prepare for his trial. While alternative solutions were considered, none were deemed feasible or acceptable by the prosecution and prison officials. It remains to be seen what further actions will be taken in this case.
