El Tribunal de Apelaciones del Segundo Circuito de Estados Unidos ha denegado la última solicitud de liberación del fundador de FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried.

Nueva solicitud de liberación del fundador de FTX rechazada por el tribunal

  • Un tribunal de apelaciones rechazó una vez más la liberación del fundador de FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried.
  • The US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit said that it found SBF’s arguments “unpersuasive.”
  • El tribunal dijo que la manipulación de SBF de dos testigos en libertad provisional fue una razón importante para denegar la apelación.
  • Witness tampering “falls outside the zone of constitutional protection,” the court said.

Los abogados que representan a Sam Bankman-Fried, también conocido como SBF en el espacio de activos digitales, solicitaron una vez más la liberación del cofundador de la plataforma de comercio de cifrado FTX, ahora en quiebra. Sin embargo, el Tribunal de Apelaciones del Segundo Circuito de EE. UU. negó el último intento del empresario criptográfico caído en desgracia, confirmando que SBF tendrá que permanecer en la cárcel mientras sus abogados intentan apelar su caso.

Según un mandato emitido on November 21, the court said that a major reason why the appeal was rejected was Bankman-Fried’s attempts to tamper with two witnesses in the FTX trial while on pretrial release. “We have reviewed the Defendant-Appellant’s additional arguments and find them unpersuasive,” Clerk of Court Catherine O’Hagan Wolfe wrote while adding: 

“The record shows that the district court thoroughly considered all of the relevant factors, including the Defendant-Appellant’s course of conduct over time that had required the district court to repeatedly tighten the conditions of release.”

Es importante señalar aquí que en julio, los fiscales estadounidenses acusado the former FTX chief executive of leaking the diaries belonging to Caroline Ellison, the former CEO of controversial trading firm Alameda Research, to The New York Times. This resulted in the disgraced entrepreneur’s bail being revoked by a New York District Court. It “is apparent” that documents were shared by Bankman-Fried, said US Attorney Damian Williams.

Interestingly, SBF argued that the New York court failed to consider that he was engaged in activity considered freedom of speech protected under the First Amendment. However, in response, the appellate court stated that the New York District Court ruled correctly and that witness tampering “falls outside the zone of constitutional protection.”

The lawyers representing the former FTX executive also argued that the New York district court failed to consider a less restrictive alternative to detention. In its response, the appellate court said that the district court “thoroughly considered” all relevant factors.

After the testimony from several FTX employees and people from SBF’s “inner circle,” the jury found Bankman-Fried guilty of all charges and is facing more than a hundred years of prison time. The sentencing will take place in March 2024. As reported earlier by Bitnation, former Department of Justice (DoJ) prosecutor Renato Mariotti believes that Bankman-Fried cumplirá 25 años de prisión.
