According to court documents, the trial of Mango Markets suspect Avraham Eisenberg, originally scheduled for December 4th of this year, has been postponed until April 8th, 2024. Eisenberg's lawyer requested the postponement after his client was "unexpectedly transferred from a New Jersey prison to the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn," where Sam Bankman-Fried has been held since his bail was revoked in August of this year. Eisenberg's lawyer also argued that they needed more time to prepare their defense due to "complex and novel legal and factual issues" as well as the government's provision of "a significant amount" of discovery material. Prosecutors, opposing the motion, argued that "the defendant committed the charged crimes alone in a single day through a unique set of financial transactions" and that the defense has had sufficient time to prepare.
