Might be time for SBF to switch the flip flops for loafers. The judge assigned to the criminal crypto case has been lauded as ‘non-nonsense’.
NEW YORK — A Manhattan federal judge known for swift decisions and a no-nonsense demeanor during three decades of overseeing numerous high-profile cases was assigned Tuesday to Sam Bankman-Fried’s cryptocurrency case.
On Thursday, he was freed on a $250 million personal recognizance bond to live with his parents in Palo Alto, California, after an electronic monitoring bracelet was attached to him so authorities could track his whereabouts. In 2014, he blocked U.S. courts from being used to collect a $9 billion Ecuadorian judgment against Chevron for rainforest damage, saying lawyers in the case had poisoned an honorable quest with illegal and wrongful conduct.
"Computer code is not purely expressive any more than the assassination of a political figure is purely a political statement,″ he said. The storied judge also was presiding over sex abuse claims by an American woman against Britain's Prince Andrew before the two sides settled earlier this year, with Andrew declaring that he never meant to malign her character and agreeing to donate to the woman's charity. Prior to the settlement, Kaplan had refused Andrew's request to toss the lawsuit.
