A Bahamian judge is allowing Sam Bankman-Fried's parents to leave court in the middle of his arraignment hearing to retrieve anti-depressants, Adderall and Zyrtec.
Bankman-Fried is accused of one of the 'biggest financial frauds in American history' - defrauding investors out of $1.8billion by convincing them his trading platform FTX was safe to use.
He is begging for mercy - asking for $250,000 cash bond - and claiming he can't be thrown in jail because he is depressed and follows a vegan diet.
Prosecutors in the Bahamas are begging a judge not to grant him bail, insisting he is a clear flight risk.
In court on Tuesday, they claimed he had even moved $300million to a Brazilian firm in September 2022, before filing bankruptcy, in a move that they say demonstrates his intention to flee justice.
Bankman-Fried faces 155 years in prison on eight counts of money laundering and fraud. US prosecutors are preparing to charge some of his friends too.
Prosecutors say he used the platform as a 'personal piggy bank' to fund a lavish lifestyle and make whopping political donations.
During proceedings on Tuesday, is Stanford law professor mother, Barbara, laughed when prosecutors referred to him as a 'fugitive'.
He maintains that he did nothing of the sort, and was going to tell Congress today that he could repay all of the people who have lost money 'tomorrow' if his assets were unfrozen, despite previously filing for bankruptcy.
Prosecutors in The Bahamas today argued that he should not be granted bail, insisting that he was a flight risk. He is in court currently in a blue and white shirt, and is not wearing handcuffs.

Yeah, that's not good news at all, especially if that is an Alameda flunkie standing next to her at that coffee snob shop.
If she flipped, she filled in all the blanks SDNY was missing (the rest they had via FV AYES and SBF's diarrhea-of-the-mouth, which may upend this cover-up anyway) and the White Hospice was able to nearly complete their cut-out of Democrat conspirators in the 9 days since that Twotter picture.
Best Rush line of all time, when US Customs took his Viagra:
“I told the doctor I was worried about the next election”
Agreed. Mutt and Jeff ain't cuttin' it, but I know Katherine doesn't care -- she has the Palm Beach mansion/studio up for 150M, and I'm about 149M short -- and if anything, Premiere is grateful he's dead, and from the rest of their lame-azz line-up, they are dedicated now to the laughably futile RINO expedition to undercut Trump.
Barbara Fried is in this ponzi-scheme-to-funnel-millions-to-the-Democrats up to her freaking fugly eyeballs.
They diverted FTX funds with their son to purchase 121M in Bahamian prime, including a $16M grifter's paradise for themselves:
FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried and his parents bought Bahamas real estate worth $121M: report
He is a 30 year old man child. He doesn't even know how to groom himself like a man. He looks like a 15 year old boy, but he's twice that age: 30 years old.
He appeared for a hearing today, dressed in a cheap ill fitting suit and tie. It looked 20 years out of date, like he picked it off a rack at the thrift store. What's with that hair? Doesn't he have any self awareness? He looks like an adolescent boy. Why would anyone trust him with a dollar?
His pudgy, flabby body is devoid of muscle tone. He presents a young, entitled sloth who has never worked a day in his life.
The Deep State Demonrats needed to buy time.
That’s what is so odd to me. He seems like a somewhat autistic person, and people gave him billions?
He stammers when he speaks, and is unkempt.
No way he smooth talked anyone.
It just doesn’t add up to me.
Good one. 👍
The above link is a draft of his testimony, according to the author. He was to testify to a house committee, but now, can't.
Just for the record, SBF did not kill himself.
He slipped in the shower and "accidentally" hung himself with his "soap on a rope".
His EVIL PARENTS should be ARRESTED!
"I had to be. It's what reputations are made of, to some extent…I feel bad for those who get f---ed by it. [B]y this dumb game we woke westerners play where we say all the right shibboleths and so everyone likes us."Why should the judge believe anything he says now when he's already told reporters he says anything he needs to say to make the deal?

I am sure his Stanford law parents helped him
His girlfriend’s father is head of MIT Department of Economics.
The father’s former underling was...Gary Gensler, head of the SEC.
Sounds like the same stuff Bidum takes. And he’s good for two minutes at a time?
He’s in the Bahamas.
He is very intelligent with little to no social skills. Ie book smart not street smart
So he had lots of help and knew yhe head of the SEC thru his parents.
IF this a true...we are worse than any ten pot dictatorship in the WORLD.
Like a lot of these jackwads that think they run the world these days.
