Federal prosecutors are seeking to severely limit former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried's connection to the internet and technological access to a "flip phone or other non-smartphone" while awaiting trial on a litany of charges connected to the collapse of the cryptocurrency exchange.
According to the letter, the two sides propose that Bankman-Fried be restricted to a select list of whitelisted websites, as well as online tools related to his defense. These tools include Zoom, government websites and several blockchain data explorers.
Proposed personal-use sites include news sites like Bloomberg, the New York Post and The Block, streaming services Netflix and Spotify, and consumer delivery apps Uber Eats and Door Dash.
