Days after a federal judge shot down a request by FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried to loosen his technology restrictions while on house arrest, the disgraced crypto entrepreneur remotely accessed his TV set in the Bahamas to watch the Super Bowl.
A lawyer for Bankman-Fried, who’s awaiting trial on a $250 million bond in an ankle bracelet at his parents’ Palo Alto, Calif. home, addressed his use of hidden internet networks in a 2 a.m. Tuesday court filing after Manhattan Federal Court prosecutors told the judge they’d discovered it with a pen register on Bankman-Fried’s Gmail account.
Christian Everdell said his client used a VPN on Jan. 29 to access an NFL Game Pass international subscription he bought when he lived in the Bahamas, where his collapsed trading platform was based, so that he could watch the the AFC and NFC Championship games.
