The judge presiding over the trial of Sam Bankman-Fried on Thursday denied yet another motion asking for the pretrial release of the onetime CEO of FTX, a crypto exchange once valued at $32 billion that imploded in November.
On Tuesday, Mark Cohen and Christian Everdell had asked Lewis Kaplan to let Bankman-Fried spend the trial outside of the Metropolitan Detention Center, the notorious Brooklyn prison where Bankman-Fried has spent the last month and a half in a cell after his bail was revoked in August.
