SDNY COURTHOUSE,
July 14 –
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 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....
