FTX Founder Sam Bankman-Fried Requests Temporary Release for Trial
In a letter addressed to Judge Kaplan, FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried’s lawyers have requested a temporary release for their client during his trial. They argue that this is necessary for the preparation of his defense, as they are facing difficulties due to current restrictions. They emphasize that SBF’s knowledge and insight into the case cannot be replicated by third-party experts. The lawyers propose that SBF lives at a temporary residence in New York City under strict surveillance and consents to a gag order.
DOJ Responds to the Request
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has responded to SBF’s request, urging the court to deny his temporary release. The DOJ argues that SBF and his lawyers have failed to explain how his “personal inability” would impede his defense. They also criticize the proposed conditions for release as inadequate and highlight SBF’s previous violation of bail conditions under similar circumstances.
