The video in the media player is from a previous report.
Prosecutors said in a letter to the judge that Bankman-Fried contacted the former general counsel of FTX on January 15 using Signal and email - stating, "I would really love to reconnect and see if there's a way for us to have a constructive relationship, use each other as resources when possible, or at least vet things with each other."
"The Government has interviewed Witness-1, who has firsthand knowledge of the defendant's conduct during the charged conspiracies, including during the collapse of FTX in November 2022. Witness-1 participated in Signal and Slack communications with the defendant and a small group of company insiders during the relevant events of November 2022.
