United States District Judge Lewis Kaplan indicated at a hearing Friday he might modify FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried's bail conditions, but only after attorneys further tighten the restrictions on Bankman-Fried's access to technology.
Kaplan said he's still not convinced that the founder of bankrupt crypto trading platform FTX wouldn't be able to circumvent the more-restrictive bail conditions that were filed last week.
"If he's determined and inventive and I suspect he's very inventive and technologically savvy he could find a way around it and conceivably not get caught," Kaplan said in court Friday.
Quote:
Bankman-Fried, who did not attend Friday's hearing, is currently under house arrest at his parents' home in Palo Alto, Calif. He is released on a $250 million bond while awaiting trial on fraud and conspiracy charges. He pleaded not guilty.
On Friday, Kaplan expressed concerns over how to handle the possibility of Bankman-Fried using other people's devices if they're brought into his California residence. He also said Bankman-Fried could simply use a flip phone to call someone to express what he would otherwise send in an email or text.

"This defendant has given some pretty strong reasons to be suspicious," Kaplan said.
Judge Kaplan asked the defense to submit an updated bail modification order that would tighten the restrictions to address his concerns.
Kaplan also said he would sign an order modifying the conditions to allow Bankman-Fried access to an FTX database to prepare for trial, but that order also needed further restrictions.
Defense attorney Christian Everdell indicated the defense would submit new filings in the coming days.
Prosecutors said they're moving along through the discovery process but there's still plenty more to be turned over to the defense team including data from a warrant for approximately 30 Google accounts for Bankman-Fried and other FTX and Alameda employees.

If you took time to read why, it's because the Bahamas would not extradite him on that charge and the extradition agreement basically precludes pursuing it.

Edit: Fair enough, but they better go after him for other items
Most of the people on that list literally bought their way on to the list. I know two who did that.bmks270 said:

SEC chairman Gary Gensler faces heat over allegedly cozy ties to SBF
As Sam Bankman-Fried's fraud trial heats up, so does the spotlight on Gary Gensler over his allegedly cozy ties with the fallen crypto kingpin.
Last week, the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission got a subpoena threat from US Rep. Patrick McHenry, chair of the House Financial Services Committee, who is demanding more information on the FTX collapse.
"You refuse to be transparent with Congress regarding your interactions with FTX and Sam-Bankman Fried," McHenry told Gensler at a Sept. 27 hearing.
On the other side of the aisle, Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) in December said Gensler was "singularly responsible for the regulatory failures surrounding the collapse of FTX."

Other than the fact that she was the key witness against Fried, met with DOJ over 20 times, never changed her story, and her story was corroborated by other evidence...Ghost Mech said:Pinochet said:

She got off easy for protecting Gary Gensler (the current SEC Chairman) and Dems.
