SBF has tried to influence the statement of a former FTX employee, the US public prosecutor claims

The fold-down founder and former CEO of FTX tried to contact and possibly influence the testimony of another stock exchange employee, according to the US Justice Ministry.

Therefore, the prosecutors want to introduce two new rules for the SBF deposit.

  • Sam Bankman-Fried was released against a $ 250 million bond in December last year and is limited to his parents' house. However, he seems to have tried to contact FTX US General Counsel Ryne Miller via the encrypted messaging app signal.
  • Remember that this is not the first reported case of SBF in which signal is used for controversial goals. In 2022 he wanted to sell the strongly controversial Robinhood shares through the app.
  • The letter to judge Kaplan outlined the news that SBF sent to Miller:

"I would really like to get in touch again and see if there is a way for us to have a constructive relationship, to use each other as resources, if possible, or at least review things together."

  • The Doj believes that Bankman-Fried also tried to contact other employees of FTX and Alameda, which, according to the public prosecutor, indicates "an effort to influence" at least one of the future witnesses.
  • Therefore, the doj wants the judge to change the deposit rules of SBF and add two more. The first one is to forbid him to contact current or former employees or connected parties of FTX, Alameda or one of its connected companies, with the exception of family members.
  • The second was that SBF should be prevented from using encrypted messaging applications such as signal.
