SDNY COURTHOUSE,
July 13 –
Sam
Bankman-Fried
of FTX was
indicted in
the U.S.
District Court
for the
Southern
District of
New York,
leading to his
arrest in the
Bahamas on
December 12, and
extradition to
the US on
December 21.
On
February 28,
with
Bankman-Fried free
on bond, FTX's
Nishad Singh pleaded
guilty to six
criminal
charges. Inner
City Press put the
charging document
on its DocumentCloud
here.
On
March 10,
Judge Kaplan
held a
proceeding. Inner
City Press was
there and
live tweeted,
thread here.
On
March 27, Bankman-Fried's
lawyers filed
a sealed
version of
conditions it
said DOJ agreed to -
adding that
"the Government does
not object to
the sealing
request." Full
letter on Patreon here.
On
May 8,
SBF's
lawyers wrote
in to
Judge Kaplan,
"Samuel
Bankman-Fried
hereby moves
through his
counsel as
follows -"

On July 1,
Judge
Kaplan set a
motion schedule:
"The Court
appreciates
the largely
successful
efforts of
counsel to
work out a
mutually
acceptable
schedule, much
of which is
adopted in
this order
which in some
respects
modifies the
agreement and,
in addition,
resolves
points on
which counsel
were not in
agreement. The
following
schedule is
adopted.
August 14,
2023 The
Government
shall provide
notice to the
defendant of
evidence it
may seek to
offer pursuant
to Federal
Rule of
Evidence
404(b)."
On July
13, SBF's
lawyers sent Judge Kaplan a
sealed list of
people, not
stating even
the number of
people, for whom
the security
guard
requirement - to
show not
sharing
phones with
SBF - should to
waived. They
argue, as
they did with
the co-signers, that
the list
should be
sealed. And
they say the
SDNY prosecutors agree....
