SBF-Anwälte appellieren, die Freilassung von Kautionsbürgen zu blockieren
- Anwälte, die SBF vertreten, haben Berufung eingelegt, um die Namen der beiden Bürgen zu sperren, die als Bürgen für die Kaution von $250M unterschrieben haben.
- Die Identitäten bleiben mindestens bis zum 14. Februar geheim, um einen Antrag auf einen weiteren Aufenthalt zu stellen.
- The Associated Press, CNBC, Dow Jones, Insider, and the Washington Post, filed a petition to make the guarantor’s name public.
- Media outlets said that “the public’s right to know Bankman-Fried’s guarantors outweighed their privacy and safety rights.”
The lawyers representing the founder of bankrupt crypto exchange FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried, also known as SBF in the crypto space, have appealed with the court to block the names of the two guarantors who signed off as guarantors on Bankman-Fried’s $250 million bail bond, which allows him to stay at his parent’s home in Palo Alto.
Multiple media outlets recently filed a motion to reveal the two guarantors of SBF’s $250 million bail bond, but it seems that the court has yet to decide whether to move forward with the decision or not. Interestingly, the identity of these guarantors will remain secret for now; Bankman Fried’s lawyers filed an appellieren to block the release of the guarantors’ names last-minute on Feb. 7.
Während die Berufung keine Einzelheiten oder Argumente enthielt, warum die Namen der beiden Bürgen nicht veröffentlicht werden sollten, kann bestätigt werden, dass die Identitäten bis mindestens 14. Februar geheim gehalten werden, um einen Antrag auf a weiter bleiben. Es wurde erwartet, dass die Berufung von SBF-Anwälten eingeht, nachdem der Bezirksrichter der Vereinigten Staaten, Lewis Kaplan, einer Petition mehrerer Medien zugestimmt hatte, um die Identität der Bürgen offenzulegen.
In einem 12. Januar Buchstabe, the lawyers from Davis Wright Tremaine LLP, representing the Associated Press, CNBC, Dow Jones, Insider, and the Washington Post, argued that “the public’s right to know Bankman-Fried’s guarantors outweighed their privacy and safety rights.”
On the other hand, the lawyers representing SBF stated that if the names were made public, their lives might come under threat. Kaplan noted that he had “no reason” to doubt threats had occurred but was yet to see “evidence to that effect.”
Along with the two unknown guarantors, SBF’s parents, Joseph Bankman and Barbara Fried, also signed the bail bond and put up their house to guarantee the FTX founder’s bail. Interestingly, when the crypto entrepreneur was arrested in the Bahamas, he wasn’t granted bail until he was extradited to the US and pleaded not guilty to all the charges imposed on him by the US authorities.
It is also crucial to note that on Feb. 7, Kaplan also rejected the joint petition between Bankman-Fried’s legal team and prosecutors that would allow SBF to have access to certain messaging applications. While the US District Judge did not give a reason for doing so, he stated that more will be discussed on the same in a Feb. 9 court hearing.
Es ist auch eine Tatsache, die das FTX-Management hat schickte eine Nachricht an alle Politiker and political groups to return the donations that were made by the company’s former executives. Interestingly, SBF was the second-largest “CEO contributor” to President Joe Biden’s campaign and donated close to $5.2 million. Additionally, Bankman-Fried’s holding company, Emergent Fidelity Technologies, has also Konkurs angemeldet und besitzt derzeit über 55 Millionen Robinhood-Aktien im Wert von fast $600 Millionen.
