Poor Sam Bankman-Fried. What a day to be the guy in court when prosecutors all over are trying to prove how tough, unbiased, and unfriendly they can be.
Sam Bankman-Fried will head to jail on Friday after a judge sided with a request by federal prosecutors to revoke the FTX founder’s bail over alleged witness tampering. Bankman-Fried was remanded to custody directly from a court hearing in New York.
Judge Lewis Kaplan denied Bankman-Fried’s request for delayed detention pending an appeal. Unless the appeal is successful, he is expected to remain in custody until his criminal trial, which is due to begin on Oct. 2.
Of course, they’re not being quite as “tough” or quite as “unfriendly” as they would be if it was “BW” or “DS” who’d defrauded investors for billions and spent damn near that amount on Republican causes, while leaking personal information from another co-conspirator’s private accounts to reporters or anyone he thought could help.
