BREAKING: FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried was ordered jailed to await trial after a bail hearing for the fallen cryptocurrency wiz left a judge convinced he had repeatedly tried to influence witnesses against him.
Two weeks ago, prosecutors surprised Bankman-Fried's attorneys by demanding his incarceration, saying he violated those rules by giving The New York Times the private writings of Caroline Ellison, his former girlfriend and the ex-CEO of Alameda Research, a cryptocurrency trading hedge fund that was one of his businesses.
Ellison pleaded guilty in December to criminal charges carrying a potential penalty of 110 years in prison. She has agreed to testify against Bankman-Fried as part of a deal that could lead to a more lenient sentence. They said prosecutors were trying to get their client locked up by offering evidence consisting of"innuendo, speculation, and scant facts."
David McCraw, a lawyer for the Times, has written to the judge, noting the First Amendment implications of any blanket gag order, as well as public interest in Ellison and her cryptocurrency trading firm.
