Bankman\u002DFried, 31, has been free on a $250 million personal recognizance bond since his December extradition from the Bahamas
It was at that hearing that a prosecutor surprised defense lawyers with the request that their client’s bail be revoked on the grounds that he gave personal writings of a key witness against him to a reporter for The New York Times in an effort to cast her in a bad light and influence potential trial jurors.
Ellison pleaded guilty in December to criminal charges that carry a potential penalty of 110 years in prison. She has agreed to testify against Bankman-Fried as part of a deal that could result in leniency.Article content “In support of its theory that Mr. Bankman-Fried ‘tampered’ with witnesses, the Government proffers evidence that consists of innuendo, speculation, and scant facts,” the lawyers wrote. “The Government’s showing is a far cry from the evidence presented in cases in this district where remand has been ordered in connection with alleged witness tampering, and in no way supports revocation of Mr. Bankman-Fried’s bail.
They also complained that Bankman-Fried had communicated so frequently with writers, saying he had participated in over 1,000 telephone calls, including more than 500 with author Michael Lewis, who is working on a book on Bankman-Fried titled: “Going Infinite: The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon.”Article content
