The District Court did not clearly err in finding probable cause to believe Bankman-Fried twice committed attempted witness tampering while on pretrial release.
The United States Attorney's Office has filed an affirmation of the denial of bail to former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, claiming that he could attempt witness tampering, and stating that no release conditions would assure the safety of the witnesses. Prosecutors responded to several claims made in his appeal against the bail revocation, calling it"meritless."
The first time SBF attempted to contact witnesses came to light in January earlier this year when the former FTX CEO initiated contact with the then-General Counsel of FTX US, who is also a potential trial witness represented by counsel.
