SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 30 –
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.
He was
released on
$250 million
bond - and
reappeared on
January 3, see
below -
with the
requirement of
co-signers.
But
he wants them
secret:
"LETTER MOTION
addressed to
Judge Lewis A.
Kaplan from
Mark S. Cohen
dated January
3, 2023 re:
Request to
Redact Names
and
Identifying
Information
for Certain
Bail Sureties
. Document
filed by
Samuel
Bankman-Fried.
(Cohen, Mark)." Six
page letter on
Patreon here -
Inner
City Press nearly
immediately opposed,
here. That
was Docket
Number 31.
Even after
that, other
defendants had
their
co-signers
named in open
court, like
hedge funder
and fraud
defendant Neil
Phillips, here.
On
January 30,
Judge Kaplan
granted the
motion to
unseal - but
stayed the
order until
February 7 to allow
for an appeal.
Inner
City Press
(Matthew
Russell Lee,
intervenor pro
se) unloaded the
order to DocumentCloud here
