Le fondateur et ancien PDG de FTX, un échange crypto qui a fait faillite en novembre de l'année dernière, Sam Bankman-Fried, également connu sous le nom de SBF dans l'espace crypto, a tenté de secouer la cage réglementaire. Les procureurs veulent que l'entrepreneur en crypto soit en prison alors qu'il poursuit ses tentatives de approcher d'anciens employés and other officials in an unofficial manner. According to a report from Reuters, SBF’s lawyers and prosecutors have reached an agreement that prevents the founder of FTX from accessing and using online messaging applications.
Le rapport indique que les avocats de SBF et les procureurs sont parvenus à un accord sur les nouvelles conditions de mise en liberté sous caution, qui permettront à l'ancien cadre de FTX de rester chez ses parents à Palo Alto mais l'empêcheront d'accéder aux plateformes de messagerie en ligne ainsi qu'aux appareils et applications.
Cependant, il est crucial de Remarque ici que les nouvelles conditions n'ont pas encore été approuvées par le juge de district américain Lewis Kaplan, qui est actuellement chargé de superviser l'affaire. Fait intéressant, Bankman-Fried ne sera pas autorisé à utiliser des smartphones avec accès à Internet, et il ne pourra utiliser que des applications telles que les appels vocaux et la messagerie texte.
The prosecutors want the FTX founder to use a basic laptop with limited functions and monitoring software to track user activity. Moreover, the use of any other electronic device is strictly forbidden. On the other hand, Bankman-Fried’s parents signed an affidavit, which stated that they were not allowed to bring prohibited items into their home.
If SBF has a “reasonable suspicion” of a violation, he must submit his devices for a search, the report added. While Kaplan needs to approve this agreement before it goes into effect, the judge believes that the FTX founder deserves to be jailed.
In January, Bankman-Fried was accused of approaching former employees of his bankrupt crypto exchange and its sister trading company, Alameda Research. SBF is accused of using the investors and depositors’ money from FTX to plug losses at his Alameda Research hedge fund and make hefty donations to political causes.
On pensait que l'ancien dirigeant de FTX tentait de falsifier des témoins en les approchant, mais ses avocats ont affirmé qu'il essayait simplement d'aider. En conséquence, le avocats et procureurs sont parvenus à un accord under which SBF will be allowed to have a flip phone and a laptop with limited functions. However, Kaplan rejected the deal, arguing that Bankman-Fried could “find a way around it.”
Kaplan has also expressed his concerns regarding the presence of electronics belonging to SBF’s parents in their home. Both the parents of the crypto entrepreneur are Stanford University law professors, which could make it difficult to monitor his conduct, said the judge.
“We are dealing with somebody, who … has done things that suggest to me that there may very well be probable cause to believe that he either committed or attempted to commit a federal felony while on release,” Kaplan said. “Why am I being asked to turn him loose in this garden of electronic devices?”
