Sam Bankman-Fried's Legal Battle Intensifies Amidst Discovery Documents and Temporary Release Push
Attorneys for Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of FTX, have filed a motion seeking his "temporary release" or increased access to his defense team, arguing that his right to prepare his defense is being hindered by his incarceration. They claim that Bankman-Fried's access to necessary documents is limited due to being in jail, as the documents are only accessible online. The defense team also raised concerns about the Department of Justice's ongoing discovery productions, requesting that any documents produced after July 1 be blocked due to insufficient time for review. Bankman-Fried's trial on multiple charges is scheduled to begin in October.
