The Attorneys Representing Crypto Entrepreneur Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) in the Current FTX Lawsuit Will Soon File a Revised Bail Package with Judge Lewis Kaplan of the Southern District of New York intend to do something. The move comes after Kaplan complained about his use of SBF’s encrypted messaging app and virtual private network (VPN) service while out on bail.
The legal proceedings surrounding the downfall of FTX allowed SBF to avoid possible jail time on a $250 million bail bond. But while out on bail, the entrepreneur used Signal, an end-to-end encrypted messaging service, to reach out to former FTX and Alameda colleagues. Kaplan barred the SBF from using such apps and threatened to revoke bail privileges if they disrupted order.

“We believe we are close to a resolution and expect to be able to file with the court a proposed order outlining these terms by next week.”
SBF has pleaded not guilty to charges related to embezzlement of FTX user funds. However, the entrepreneur could face 115 years in prison if found guilty under eight counts against him.
