Defense Alleges DOJ's 'Inaccurate' Claims on Sam Bankman-Fried's Laptop Access

Attorneys for FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried have disputed the Department of Justice's claims regarding his access to defense material, stating that he lacks decent internet access and has not been provided with the level of computer access as previously stated. Bankman-Fried's defense team has argued that his Sixth Amendment rights are being violated and have requested his temporary release or increased computer access. The defense's claims were prompted by the DOJ's assertion that Bankman-Fried now has access to multiple hard drives, air-gapped and internet-enabled laptops. However, the defense argues that these arrangements are impractical and ineffective, hindering their ability to prepare for trial.
