On Mar 10, Reuters reported that the U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan has expressed concerns over the proposed bail conditions for former FTX cryptocurrency exchange founder Sam Bankman-Fried.
As previously reported by Cointelegraph on March 4, U.S. district judge Lewis Kaplan serving on the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York proposed that Bankman-Fried be prohibited from using smartphones, tablets, computers and any video game platforms or devices that allow chat and voice communication. The proposal said that Bankman-Fried’s communication should be limited to “a flip phone or other non-smartphone with either no internet capabilities or internet capabilities disabled.”
However, at a March 10 hearing, Reuters reported that Kaplan expressed concern at the proposal, suggesting that Bankman-Fried was "inventive," and could find ways to evade the restrictions and covertly communicate with others electronically.
