Federal prosecutors say the FTX founder's access to technology in pretrial detention goes 'above and beyond '' that which other defendants have been offered.
Federal prosecutors are disputing former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried’s claims that his access to a special laptop and other court-ordered accommodations have done little to help him prepare his defense while he's confined to prison, a Tuesday court filing shows.
Prosecutors argue, however, that the technological restrictions imposed on Bankman-Fried are merely"inconveniences" that have not hindered his defense preparation and are necessary as a result of his alleged"witness tampering." The prosecutors also noted Bankman-Fried's access to technological devices to review evidence against him already"go[es] beyond the discovery access and review generally available to pretrial detainees."
The defense's complaints about the technology provided to their client come roughly a week after Judge Kaplan denied Bankman-Fried's request to visit his lawyers' offices in Manhattan for five days a week, during the lead up to the October trial.
