The New York Times has objected to gag orders imposed on Sam Bankman-Fried, former CEO of FTX, who is facing charges related to the exchange's alleged mismanagement and collapse. The newspaper argued that any restrictions on speech must adhere to legal standards and protect the public's First Amendment right to be informed about FTX's collapse.
The NYT also stated that limitations on speech for non-legal professionals like Bankman-Fried should be under stricter scrutiny compared to those applied to legal counsel. The newspaper raised objections against a statement made by government prosecutors that Bankman-Fried can only make statements in his own defense.
