Federal prosecutors wrote a letter to U.S. District Court Judge Lewis Kaplan on Friday, requesting that he modify the conditions of Sam Bankman-Fried’s bail to include ban on private communications with current and former employees of FTX and Alameda Research.

The Department of Justice’s (DOJ) request comes after Bankman-Fried reached out to at least one FTX employee – identified as Ryne Miller, the current general counsel for FTX US – to allegedly attempt to influence his future witness testimony.

“I would really love to reconnect and see if there’s a way for us to have a constructive relationship, use each other as resources when possible, or at least vet things with each other,” the DOJ’s letter quotes Bankman-Fried as saying to Miller.

Prosecutors also requested that Judge Kaplan prevent Bankman-Fried from using “any encrypted or ephemeral call or messaging application, including but not limited to Signal.”
