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 appello to block the release of the guarantors’ names last-minute on Feb. 7. 

Sebbene il ricorso non contenesse i dettagli o le argomentazioni sul motivo per cui i nomi dei due garanti non dovrebbero essere resi pubblici, si può confermare che le identità rimarranno segrete almeno fino al 14 febbraio per consentire la richiesta di ulteriore soggiorno. L'appello sarebbe dovuto arrivare dagli avvocati di SBF dopo che il giudice distrettuale degli Stati Uniti Lewis Kaplan ha accolto una petizione di diversi media per rivelare l'identità dei garanti. 

In un 12 gennaio lettera, 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. 

È anche un dato di fatto che ha la gestione FTX inviato un messaggio a tutti i politici 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 dichiarato fallimento e attualmente possiede oltre 55 milioni di azioni Robinhood, che valgono quasi $600 milioni.
