Lawyers representing the disgraced FTX founder recently filed an appeal with the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, seeking his release after he was incarcerated for alleged witness tampering in the lawsuit filed against him by the U.S. Department of Justice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Lack of Computer Access For Sam Bankman-Fried In Jail<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The filing by Sam Bankman-Fried\u2019s lawyers late on August 25 argued that he had exercised his First Amendment rights by sharing the personal writings of former Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison with the New York Times. U.S. District Judge Michael Kaplan revoked the FTX founder\u2019s bail on August 11 after finding probable cause for a witness tampering charge in this matter.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It is unclear how a cooperating witness who has promised to testify against a defendant could be meaningfully threatened by nothing but their own statements being published by a reputable newspaper.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to a report by Reuters earlier today, the court filing stated that Bankman-Fried\u2019s actions were aimed at protecting himself rather than harassing or intimidating Ellison, a former member of his inner circle who is set to testify against him in the upcoming trial. The FTX founder previously came under fire for attempting to influence Ryne Miller, the former general counsel of FTX US, who is a potential witness in the lawsuit against his ex-boss.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sam Bankman-Fried\u2019s lawyers also highlighted the lack of computer access at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center, where the 31-year-old is currently being held. The lawyers claimed that the lack of computer access prevented the former FTX chief from analyzing evidence and preparing for the trial. Judge Kaplan previously allowed Bankman-Fried\u2019s lawyers to meet him twice a week for six hours at a time.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/sam-bankman-fried-temporary-jail-release\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sam Bankman-Fried is seeking a temporary release<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":180707,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
