Pais de Bankman-Fried sofrem ameaças online
- Bankman-Fried’s lawyers claim the FTX founder’s parents have been subject to threats and negative media coverage.
- SBF’s lawyers have asked the presiding judge not to publicize the names of two sureties to keep them from facing similar assaults.
- Espera-se que Bankman-Fried se declare inocente durante sua audiência no tribunal na terça-feira.
Bankman-Fried’s legal team has asked a judge to redact specific details about the people serving as sureties for his $250 million bond due to threats made to his family and parents. The lawyers submitted the letter on Tuesday to Judge Lewis Kaplan for the United States District Court in the Southern District of New York, asking that the names and identities of two of the sureties be kept private to protect them from similar harassment faced by Bankman-Fried’s parents.
Falando sobre as ameaças, Mark Cohen, do escritório de advocacia Cohen & Gresser, disse:
In recent weeks, Mr. Bankman-Fried’s parents have become the target of intense media scrutiny, harassment, and threats. Among other things, Mr. Bankman-Fried’s parents have received a steady stream of threatening correspondence, including communications expressing a desire that they suffer physical harm. Consequently, there is serious cause for concern that the two additional sureties would face similar intrusions on their privacy as well as threats and harassment if their names appear unredacted on their bonds or their identities are otherwise publicly disclosed.
Bankman-Fried era lançado sob fiança em dezembro com uma fiança de $250 milhões e foi condenado a ficar com seus pais na Califórnia. Sua equipe jurídica acredita que tornar públicos os nomes daqueles dispostos a apoiá-lo financeiramente pode prejudicar o processo judicial.
Bankman-Fried também deve se declarar inocente na terça-feira em resposta a alegações that he defrauded investors in his now-defunct FTX crypto exchange. The 30-year-old is accused of heading one of the biggest cryptocurrency scams in history, stealing billions of dollars in FTX customer deposits to finance his Alameda Research hedge fund, and fund his lifestyle.
Se condenado, o graduado do Instituto de Tecnologia de Massachusetts pode pegar até 115 anos de prisão. Bankman-Fried foi acusado de duas acusações de fraude eletrônica e seis acusações de conspiração, incluindo acusações de lavagem de dinheiro e violação das leis de financiamento de campanha.
FTX co-founder Gary Wang and Alameda chief executive Caroline Ellison have both pleaded guilty to criminal charges after being hit with both civil and criminal charges for fraud and conspiracy. Both parties also agreed to collaborate with prosecutors. Ellison expressed her regret to FTX’s clients and investors at a hearing last month, saying she acknowledged her mistakes.
