Sam Bankman-Fried, former CEO of FTX, may have his $250 million bail revoked due to allegations of intimidation against his former partner and colleague Caroline Ellison. Assistant U.S. Attorney Danielle Sassoon has requested the revocation based on claims that Bankman-Fried used his freedom to make 100 calls to a reporter behind a New York Times story that revealed Ellison's private online journals.
Judge Lewis Kaplan will accept filings from both the U.S. government and Bankman-Fried's legal team, with a warning to take the matter seriously. Bankman-Fried's first criminal trial is set to begin on Oct. 2.
