A federal judge is sending FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried to jail, saying there is probable cause to believe that he has attempted to tamper with witnesses
[Breaking news] There is probable cause to believe that the defendant has attempted to tamper with witnesses at least twice, US District Court Judge Lewis Kaplan said. Kaplan said Friday that a gag order would not be sufficient given Bankman-Fried’s repeated toeing of the line. Bankman-Fried was remanded, at least temporarily, to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, while the parties sort out details of how he will review discovery materials ahead of a trial scheduled for October.
Bankman-Fried, who has pleaded not guilty to multiple conspiracy and fraud charges, is set to go to trial in October. The charges stem from what prosecutors have characterized as one of the biggest financial frauds in US history.
