"Sam Bankman-Fried's Courtroom Tactics and Trial Developments: A Closer Look"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by CoinDesk
A federal judge has approved a defense request allowing FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried to use an "air-gapped" laptop, without internet access, to take notes during his upcoming trial. The laptop will be brought to court by a paralegal and taken back at the end of each day. The judge also approved Bankman-Fried's request to wear a suit in court, with the U.S. Marshals Service or the Metropolitan Detention Center responsible for maintaining his clothing. The defense team has made another attempt to have Bankman-Fried temporarily released, offering strict conditions, and a hearing has been scheduled to discuss the motion.
