Past 6 pm
on December 29, 2023 the US
Attorney Office wrote to Judge
Kaplan "to provide notice to
the Court and the defendant
that it does not plan to
proceed with a second trial in
the above-captioned matter."
So no evidence and cross
examination about the campaign
finance and China bribe
counts, no getting to the
bottom of who took the money.
It is known that officials in
the Bahamas, whose request to
drop these charges DOJ cited
in severing them, took SBF's
and FTX customers' money.
Past 11 pm on
February 27, SBF's memo
posited his sentencing
guideline at 63 to 78 months
and asked for a sentence "that
returns Sam promptly to a
productive role in society."

On March 27,

and MIT, DOJ wrote in that
"Here, where none of the
investors $1.7 billion was
returned, the loss figure is
the same." Letter on Patreon here.
