Sam Bankman Fried, the former CEO of the now-bankrupt crypto exchange FTX, just can’t seem to persuade a judge to grant him any favors.

Kaplan did provide his lawyers the opportunity to refile and let four of those expert witnesses testify—but only in rebuttal to expert witnesses the Justice Department plans to bring to trial.
