SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Sept 30 – Sam
Bankman-Fried of FTX on August
11, 2023 for tampering with
witnesses in the upcoming
trial against him was ordered
remained to jail.
U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Lewis A. Kaplan heard
from prosecutors that in
Putnam County Correctional
Facility, SBF could be given
access to discovery material
over the Internet.
Kaplan replied
that he assumed the defendant
would be in the Metropolitan
Detention Center in Brooklyn,
like fellow crypto-fraud
defendant Miles Guo and
others.
On August
12 Inner City Press, which
published the first book about
SBF's remand ("Crypto Creeps,"
here,
sample on Substack here)
found the Bureau of Prisons
notice, listing SBF in the
MDC.
On August 14, the
DOJ prosecutors docketed their
superseding indictment against
SBF, with Count 8, Campaign
Finance, dropped ostensibly at
the request of the Bahamas.
Inner City Press immediately
published the superseding
indictment on its
DocumentCloud here.
On
Saturday, September 30 the
prosecutors filed a letter
asking for permission for
remote testimony, citing the
example of a young man in
Ukraine who lost his life
savings to FTX but is banned
from leaving Ukraine. SBF
opposes the testimony - letter
