Tech Issues Hinder Sam Bankman-Fried's Trial Prep as Lawyers Struggle to Access Laptop

Lawyers for Sam Bankman-Fried, the former head of collapsed crypto exchange FTX, claim that technical issues are hindering his trial preparation while he is held at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center. They argue that Bankman-Fried has not received the court-ordered laptop, preventing him from reviewing evidence, and that the internet connection at the facility is unreliable. The lawyers are requesting his temporary release to adequately prepare for the upcoming trial. The judge has not yet ruled on the request. Bankman-Fried's bail was revoked earlier this month after he was accused of leaking the personal diary of his former lover and business partner.

Sam Bankman-Fried's Legal Team Urgently Seeks Release from Jail for Trial Preparation

Sam Bankman-Fried's defense team argued in a hearing that his limited internet access and inadequate laptop tech specs in jail were hindering his ability to prepare for his upcoming trial. They requested his release from jail, but the federal judge overseeing the case declined to grant their request. The judge gave both parties until next Tuesday to brief him on the conditions in the jail facility before deciding on temporary release. The defense also requested to preclude all documents produced after July 1 due to the late disclosure by the government, but the judge denied the request. The defense can ask for a trial postponement if they need more time to review the documents. The hearing also involved discussions about Bankman-Fried's laptop battery life and internet access in jail, with the defense arguing that the proposed solutions were not practical. Bankman-Fried has been in jail since August on charges of attempted witness tampering.
