Sam Bankman-Fried's Legal Team Raises Concerns Over Trial Preparations Sam Bankman-Fried's attorneys
have raised concerns regarding the measures taken by authorities for their client's upcoming criminal trial in October. In an August 25 submission to the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, the legal representatives argued that the measures proposed by the prosecutors were not adequate
for the FTX founder to fully prepare for his trial.
The heart of the matter pertains to the discovery materials related to the case.
On August 24, the U.S. Justice Department provided approximately 4 million pages of these materials. However, according to the defense, there are still "millions of pages of documents
and terabytes of data" left to be reviewed by Sam Bankman-Fried.
“We do not believe that anything short of temporary release will properly address these problems and safeguard Mr. Bankman-Fried’s right to participate in his own defense,” the defense stated.
“Before his bail was revoked, Mr. Bankman-Fried was spending 80-100 hours a week reviewing the voluminous discovery and creating detailed analyses that he could update constantly and share with his attorneys.”
