We recommend Torus for first-time users.Sam Bankman-Fried, the jailed founder of collapsed crypto exchange FTX, has been given enough time with access to a laptop to review discovery, prosecutors said Tuesday, as Bankman-Fried awaits a trial that is currently set for early October.
"To date, there have been no reported issues with the functionality of the USB ports and software applications utilized thus far," the prosecutors said, adding that he currently has three hard drives and that the MDC has approved the use of a second air-gapped laptop, which can be stored in an area adjacent to his housing unit for increased convenience.
The prosecutors’ report came after the judge on Aug. 30 instructed them to submit a letter outlining the status of Bankman-Fried’s access to discovery.that even under the current system, Bankman-Fried “will not have a meaningful opportunity to prepare his defense.” "Friday, September 1, 2023, was the first day Mr. Bankman-Fried could work a full day with his materials at the MDC. But contrary to the plan, MDC staff told Mr. Bankman-Fried that he had to leave the visiting room at around 2:30pm and return to his unit for the count. This deprived him of 4.5 hours of possible work time," his lawyers said.
