On Thursday, The U.S. appeals court crushed Sam Bankman-Fried’s request for bail, and he will be in bars until the trial date on fraud charges linked to the 2022 FTX exchange collapse. The court noted the gravity of the case, and if given bail, SBF could misuse this opportunity. The next trial is on October 3, and Bankman-Fried’s legal team had sought his temporary release based on First Amendment grounds. However, the appeals court found these arguments vague, and Bankman-Fried will remain behind bars. This came just after the former crypto billionaire lost another order barring him from calling expert witnesses on the stand.
