In a July 13 letter to New York District Court Judge Lewis Kaplan, lawyers representing Bankman-Fried requested the judge allow “close friends” on a submitted list to visit him without needing to go through court-ordered security measures set out in his bail conditions.


These include having a security guard present at the house to screen visitors for electronic devices and having visitors sign an electronic visitor log.


Currently, only Bankman-Fried’s lawyers and employees of his contracted law firm are exempt from the checks. Lawyers have asked for the measures to extend to visitors pre-approved by the court.


The list — which was viewed by prosecutors with no objections — includes “close friends and colleagues of Bankman-Fried’s parents and household help that regularly visit the house,” according to the letter.


The list was filed under seal, with the lawyers arguing the privacy and safety of those mentioned “greatly outweigh any presumption of access to the list.”The first page of the letter by Bankman-Fried’s lawyers sent to Kaplan. Source: CourtListener


As part of bail conditions laid out by Kaplan, Bankman-Fried is only allowed the use of a laptop and is restricted to accessing court-approved sites, including selected news sites and YouTube.

The lawyers said those on the list “are aware of and will abide by” Bankman-Fried’s bail conditions, including a prohibition on sharing electronic devices with him.

Bankman-Fried has been living at his parent’s house in Palo Alto, California, since being granted bail in December 2022 — the same house was put up as collateral for his $250 million bail bond.


A trial for the 13 charges leveled against Bankman-Fried was scheduled to begin on Oct. 2, but five charges were split into a second trial slated to start on March 11, 2024.
