U.S. prosecutors asked the judge overseeing Sam Bankman-Fried’s criminal case to put restrictions on his communication with former and current FTX employees, alleging that he has tried to influence their witness testimony. cheyenneligon reports
to U.S. District Court Judge Lewis Kaplan on Friday, requesting that he modify the conditions of Sam Bankman-Fried’s bail to include ban on private communications with current and former employees of FTX and Alameda Research.
“I would really love to reconnect and see if there’s a way for us to have a constructive relationship, use each other as resources when possible, or at least vet things with each other,” the DOJ’s letter quotes Bankman-Fried as saying to Miller. In their letter to the court, prosecutors said Bankman-Fried used the Signal app to reach out to Miller, as well as other current and former FTX employees – which prosecutors described as “the very people who until recently were the defendant’s underlings whom he supervised and financially compensated, and who are therefore most vulnerable to intimidation” – asking to talk.
“[Miller] participated in Signal and Slack communications with the defendant and a small group of company insiders during the relevant events of November 2022,” prosecutors said. “In those messages, among other things, [Bankman-Fried] gave instructions for liquidating Alameda’s investments to satisfy FTX customer withdrawals, and indicated that he transferred approximately $45 million dollars of Alamedas funds to FTX US to fill an apparent hole in FTX US’s balance sheet.
