The Department of Justice (DOJ) is requesting that FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried's bail be revoked and that he be detained due to his alleged tampering with witnesses and obstruction of investigations. The DOJ claims that Bankman-Fried's actions demonstrate that no pretrial release conditions can ensure the safety of the community, and that he is unlikely to comply with any conditions of release. Bankman-Fried is accused of leaking diary writings belonging to Caroline Ellison, the former CEO of FTX's trading arm Alameda Research, in an attempt to intimidate and corruptly persuade her from testifying. Currently living in his parents' home in Paolo Alto, California, Bankman-Fried is awaiting trial.
