Sam Bankman-Fried wants more time to negotiate his bail terms.
The former FTX executive’s lawyers filed a letter on Friday requesting that a federal judge give him until March 3 to hash out the details of his ongoing bail dispute. Bankman-Fried also requested more time to find a technology expert to educate the court.
“We respectfully request that the court grant the defense an extension of time to file our proposal for the court’s technical consultant and additional bail conditions,” Bankman-Fried’s lawyers said.
Prosecutors have urged Judge Lewis Kaplan to tighten Bankman-Fried’s bail terms — and seriously curtail his internet access — after he used an encrypted app to message a former employee and a VPN to watch the Super Bowl.
