SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 3 –
Sam
Bankman-Fried
of FTX was
indicted in
the U.S.
District Court
for the
Southern
District of
New York,
leading to his
arrest in the
Bahamas on
December 12, and
extradition to
the US on
December 21.
He was
released on
$250 million
bond - and
reappeared on
January 3, see
below -
with the
requirement of
co-signers.
Now he
wants them secret:
"LETTER MOTION
addressed to
Judge Lewis A.
Kaplan from
Mark S. Cohen
dated January
3, 2023 re:
Request to
Redact Names
and
Identifying
Information
for Certain
Bail Sureties
. Document
filed by
Samuel
Bankman-Fried.
(Cohen, Mark)." Six
page letter on
Patreon here -
Inner
City Press has
already
opposed, here.
On
January 3,
Bankman-Fried
appeared, pled
not guilty,
had a
condition
imposed and
trial date
set. Inner
City Press
live tweeted thread here:
OK -
now Sam
Bankman-Fried
arraignment in
SDNY. For his
$250 million
bond, he now
wants names of
co-signers to
be withheld
from the
public
Mark
Cohen: He
pleads not
guilty to all
charges.
Judge
Kaplan: Thank
you. I
received this
morning a
letter seeking
to redact the
names and
other
identifying
information -
what is mean
by this, Mr.
Cohen?
Cohen:
Names and
addresses.
Judge
Kaplan: I will
grant that
request
without
prejudice
[Note: Inner
City Press
just submitted
opposition]
Judge
Kaplan: Trial
on October 2,
2023. I may
move that a
day or so
later or
earlier. But
that's what
I'm shooting
for. Now,
let's set a
motion
schedule.
Judge
Kaplan: Let's
say April 3.
April 24 for
response, May
8 reply
AUSA:
We propose a
new condition,
specifically
that the
defendant be
prohibited
from accessing
or
transferring
any FTX or
Alameda assets
Judge:
It would
address
transferring
what?
AUSA:
Assets
purchased with
FTX funds
Judge:
I impose that
condition, I
view it was
warranted.
Cohen: I'd
like to
respond.
Judge
Kaplan: Why
don't we save
it until you
are back
before the
Court on this,
which I hope
it not
necessary.
Cohen: He was
ordered by the
Bahamas court
-
Judge:
Not material...
Judge
Kaplan: OK, we
are adjourned.
