Родителям Бэнкман-Фрида угрожают в сети

• 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.
• Ожидается, что Бэнкман-Фрид не признает себя виновным во время своего выступления в суде во вторник.

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.

Говоря об угрозах, Марк Коэн из юридической фирмы Cohen & Gresser сказал:

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.

Бэнкман-Фрид был вышел в декабре под залог в размере $250 миллионов, и ему было приказано остаться с родителями в Калифорнии. Его юридическая команда считает, что обнародование имен тех, кто готов оказать ему финансовую поддержку, может затруднить судебный процесс.

Ожидается, что во вторник Бэнкман-Фрид заявит о своей невиновности в ответ на обвинения 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.

В случае признания виновным выпускнику Массачусетского технологического института может грозить до 115 лет тюрьмы. Бэнкмен-Фрид был обвинен по двум пунктам обвинения в мошенничестве с использованием электронных средств и шести пунктам обвинения в заговоре, включая обвинения в отмывании денег и нарушении законов о финансировании избирательных кампаний.

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.
