Attorneys for former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried asked that he be allowed to communicate electronically again after being barred from doing so in January. The request came in a letter sent to District Court Southern District of New York Judge Lewis A. Kaplan after prosecutors alleged Bankman-Fried may have engaged in witness tampering. In exchange for allowing Bankman-Fried to have supervised communication, his attorneys say they will not fight the order barring him from transferring assets related to FTX and Alameda Research. Federal prosecutors said in a four-page filing the former billionaire, who is currently facing life in prison on charges of fraud and conspiracy, tried to contact Ryne Miller, general counsel for FTX US, through the Signal encrypted messaging app. (Decrypt)
