Turner Wright8 hours agoJudge denies final pretrial request from Sam Bankman-Fried for temporary releaseThe federal judge overseeing Sam Bankman-Fried’s fraud case reportedly suggested the former FTX CEO might be a flight risk, given his young age and potential prison time.7647 Total views58 Total sharesListen to article 0:00NewsJoin us on social networksFormer FTX CEO Sam “SBF” Bankman-Fried will remain in jail at least until the start of his Oct. 3 criminal trial following an order from a federal judge.


In a Sept. 28 hearing in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Judge Lewis Kaplan denied a motion from SBF’s legal team requesting the former FTX CEO be given temporary release in order to prepare for his trial. Bankman-Fried’s lawmakers had made repeated attempts to argue for release since Kaplan revoked his bail on Aug. 11 due to allegations of witness intimidation. The matter twice went to an appellate court without success for SBF’s team.


Kaplan reportedly suggested that SBF might be a flight risk if “things begin to look bleak” at trial, considering his age and potential prison time. Though the judge denied SBF an early release, he added that the former FTX CEO will have the opportunity to arrive at court early on certain days to confer with his legal team.

The final preparations for Bankman-Fried’s trial are underway as many in and out of the crypto space await revelations related to alleged fraud at FTX as well in the testimony of former Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison. On Sept. 27, Judge Kaplan granted some “housekeeping” motions allowing SBF to wear a suit at trial in addition to using an air-gapped laptop in the courtroom for taking notes.


The Oct. 3 trial will be the first of two for Bankman-Fried. He will face seven charges related to the misuse of customer funds in October and five additional charges at a second trial scheduled for March 2024. SBF has pleaded not guilty to all counts.
