On Sept. 12, District Judge Lewis Kaplan denied Bankman-Fried’s claim that his trial preparation was hindered due to poor internet access in prison, finding it wasn’t sufficient grounds to grant his release.


“The defendant had not made any detailed showing as to specific material that he claims he has been unable to access personally and the reasons why any such personal inability actually would impede his defense,” Kaplan explained.Judge Kaplan"s order denying Bankman-Fried"s release request.

Kaplan added that Bankman-Fried’s lawyers could provide him with material to review on a hard drive to circumvent a potentially unreliable internet connection.“There has been no suggestion that counsel is incapable of running any searches across the Relativity or AWS databases that defendant may desire and then providing him with the results."


Bankman-Fried’s counsel previously complained about the prison’s poor internet connection in a Sept. 8 letter, explaining they would often need to wait up to 10 minutes for a website homepage to load.
