Judge Lewis A. Kaplan, presiding over the case involving the U.S. government and former chief of the defunct FTX exchange, Sam Bankman-Fried, issued an order on September 6 denying his request for “immediate release,” according to files<\/a> from CourtListener.<\/p>\n

Judge Kaplan of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit referred Sam Bankman-Fried\u2019s \u201cpretrial release\u201d motion \u201cto the next available three-judge panel.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bankman-Fried\u2019s trial is set to begin on October 3, where he faces seven charges<\/a> related to wire fraud, securities and commodities fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering along with illegal political finance charges. He has pleaded not guilty<\/a> to all charges.<\/p>\n

In a separate order<\/a> also released yesterday, Judge Kaplan asked Bankman-Fried\u2019s lawyers to submit a letter by September 8 to report inaccuracies in any \u201cfactual statement\u201d made by the government in a joint letter sent on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The letter describes the conditions of computer and internet access that Bankman-Fried has in the Brooklyn jail for reviewing the case’s discovery material.<\/p>\n

The court revoked<\/a> Sam Bankman-Fried\u2019s bail in mid-August on witness tampering<\/a> concerns.<\/p>\n

Since then, Bankman-Fried\u2019s defense team has appealed<\/a> for his release, arguing that his detention was interfering with his Sixth Amendment right to work on his own defense.<\/p>\n

On September 5, the government claimed<\/a> that Bankman-Friend had sufficient access to a laptop to review discovery materials at the Metropolitan Detention Center, Brooklyn. Those claims were refuted in a letter by Bankman-Fried’s lawyer, Mark Cohen.<\/p>\n

In one of the orders passed by Judge Kaplan today, the judge has asked Bankman-Fried\u2019s defense team to report inaccurate statement\u2019s in the government\u2019s claims.<\/p>\n

Decrypt <\/i>has reached out to Bankman-Fried’s legal team for comment.<\/p>\n
