Jump cut to mid-March 2025: Michelle Bond's retained counsel wrote in about a letter from Sullivan & Cromwell, counsel for the FTX Bankruptcy Trustee, that "advised that Ms. Bond is not permitted to use funds on retainer at Duane Morris LLP because those funds are subject to a TRO." An extension for defense motion to June 20 was requested. Judge Daniels granted to May 4 - the US Attorney's Office says that's a Sunday, so May 5, and to extend the June 10 conference for a month.

This case is US v. Bond, 24-cr-494 (Daniels)

We'll have more on this.
