Sam Bankman-Fried to Argue for Pre-Trial Release

Need2Know Headlines

FX founder Sam Bank Fried's lawyers are planning to appeal the decision to keep him behind bars in a hearing today. Bank Fried's bail was revoked in August after a district judge found probable cause that he may have tampered with witnesses in the case. Now, in an appeal filed on August 28th, Maman Fried argued the decision to jail him violates his first amendment rights to speak to the press and his sixth amendment right to speak with his attorneys as needed. Mag Fried faces seven charges of fraud and conspiracy and his trial is set to begin on October.
