Sam Bankman-Fried may need more time to review 'substantial' evidence, lawyers say
Sam Bankman-Fried may request to delay his October trial, his lawyers said in a letter to a federal judge this week. The disgraced FTX founder says he may need more time to review troves of evidence that prosecutors have collected. Bankman-Fried is under house arrest in California on a $250 million bond. Discovery is the process where lawyers exchange information about the witnesses.
Bankman-Fried has not seen a “substantial” portion of discovery in the case, which includes former Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison’s iPhone, FTX co-founder Gary Wang’s laptop, two other laptops that belong to former employees of FTX and Alameda and 30 Google accounts, his lawyers said in a letter to Judge Lewis Kaplan. Discovery is the process where lawyers exchange information about the witnesses and evidence they'll present at a trial. Ellison and Wang both pleaded guilty in December to criminal charges tied to their roles at FTX and Alameda Research.
