A federal judge revoked FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried’s bail and sent him to jail Friday, ending a monthslong battle between the Justice Department and the onetime crypto entrepreneur over his behavior while awaiting trial on fraud charges.

U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan said at a hearing in New York that Bankman-Fried pushed the limits of his bail conditions repeatedly.

“There is probable cause to believe that the defendant has attempted to tamper with witnesses at least twice,” Kaplan said. The judge said he would allow Bankman-Fried’s lawyers to request that the defendant be allowed to spend time in his lawyers’ offices to prepare for his October trial.

Sounded like SBF was struggling with the black beans and rice in the Bahamian jail before extradition.

Article:

“has attempted to tamper with witnesses at least twice”

I guess they didn’t teach him how to properly do that at the Cabal training center.....

The over/under on him meeting the same date as Epstein is currently 60/40.

His former beneficiaries do NOT want him talking, at all

What is going on with SBF’s illegal campaign contributions? First he was charged, then charges dropped, now maybe they’re back on the table again? We know all the illegal campaign funds went to Democrats, most of whom refused to return the money. Some said they would “donate to charity.” Yeah, sure.

That picture is scary. If someone looking like her arrived at my door trick or treating, I'd give her the whole bowl of candy, lock the door and turn out all the lights.

Guess he believes the rules don’t apply to him. Who does he think he is, a Biden?
