The Justice Department charged Sam Bankman-Fried with eight criminal counts in December, including wire fraud and money laundering, and since that time, relations between the disgraced FTX founder and prosecutors have become increasingly strained.
The latest example came on Friday night when prosecutors complained Bankman-Fried has been in touch with potential witnesses in his criminal trial. In a letter to U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan, they cited Bankman-Fried's alleged communication with FTX general counsel Ryne Miller.
