Bahamas court allows Sam Bankman-Fried to challenge new US charges.

A Bahamas court has temporarily prevented the country's government from allowing US prosecutors to pursue new charges against Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of now-bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX. The charges were added after his extradition and include foreign bribery, bank fraud, and conspiracy. Bankman-Fried's lawyers have filed papers to dismiss six of the 13 charges he faces, arguing that the Bahamas did not consent to them. The decision could prolong uncertainty over whether Bankman-Fried's scheduled Oct. 2 trial will cover all 13 charges he faces.
