A judge prohibited Sam Bankman-Fried from using a VPN in a new court order.

Sam Bankman-Fried was temporarily ordered to stop using a VPN after he used a private network to watch the Super Bowl and other football games.A judge banned Sam Bankman-Fried from using a VPN after the former FTX boss said he used a private network to watch the Super Bowl while under house arrest.

The move comes as Bankman-Fried’s lawyers negotiate his bail terms with prosecutors. The judge recently barred Bankman-Fried from using encrypted messaging apps like Signal after he was accused of contacting a potential witness in his criminal case. Bankman-Fried is also banned from contacting current or former FTX employees until his bail conditions are settled.

Officials discovered earlier this week that Bankman-Fried had used a VPN, according to court filings, raising concerns that the government would be unable to see the websites he visits or the data he sends and receives while using a private network. Bankman-Fried is under house arrest on a $250 million bond and could spend decades in jail if he is convicted.
