DOJ Seeks Detention Order With Sam Bankman-Fired For Witness Impact
Key Points:
- Attorneys representing the US Department of Justice (DOJ) want the court to recover the bail and remand Sam Bankman-Fried before the October trial.
- In the letter, Friday stated that Bankman-Fried had a history of witness tampering.
- Before that, Bankman-Fried had “many times” tried to influence witnesses and interfere with a fair trial.
According to Blockwork, a letter from attorneys representing the US Department of Justice (DOJ) pushed to recover Sam Bankman-Fried’s bail and put him in jail ahead of his trial in October.
Attorneys representing the US Department of Justice are formally seeking a “retention order” against former FTX Sam Bankman-Fried, according to a new court letter.
In federal court on Wednesday, prosecutor Danielle Sassoon said there were “no conditions of release that would guarantee public safety,” a week after the US Justice Department charged Bankman-Fried with leaking the private diary of former Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison to the media.
The letter on Friday claimed that Bankman-Fried had a history of witness tampering. Specifically, the government said Bankman-Fried contacted Witness-1, “the current General Counsel of FTX US, who may be a witness at the trial” through the Signal messaging app.
The government does that Bankman-Fried has the “right to speak and defend himself to the press, even on hundreds of occasions as [is] the case here” but that Bankman-Fried has “repeatedly” sought to “corruptly influence witnesses and interfere with a fair trial through attempted public harassment and shaming.”
As a result, the letter continued, Bankman-Fried’s inability to comply with any condition or combination of release and bail conditions proved “insufficient.”
On November 11, 2022, FTX declared bankruptcy after reports of financial vulnerabilities were published. Before its collapse, FTX was valued at $32 billion and had more than a million users. Sam Bankman-Fried currently faces eight counts, mostly related to fraud and financial conspiracies, with a maximum sentence of life in prison. But so far, he has denied all related allegations.
