Sam Bankman-Fried Asks Judge Not to Ban Communication With Ex-Colleagues

Sam Bankman-Fried’s FTX exchange appeared to be functioning normally from the outside. However, when the exchange started to have liquidity problems, Sam Bankman-Fried’s empire fell.

The fall of FTX affected numerous companies and sent shockwaves through the cryptocurrency community. After that, FTX declared bankruptcy, and SBF resigned as CEO.

According to the latest report from Reuters, Sam Bankman-Fried’s lawyers requested that a US judge not ban SBF from communicating with his ex-colleagues. The request stated that “the prosecutors tried to sandbag him.”

Sam Bankman-Fried’s lawyer’s response is regarding prosecutor’s request

The request by SBF’s lawyers was in response to the federal prosecutor’s request to not allow SBF to communicate with the employees of Alameda or FTX. The request also urged the necessity for lawyers to be present during the communication.

However, the prosecutors made it clear that the request was a follow-up to SBF’s recent move to contact a witness against him. The prosecutors also added that it is necessary to prevent tampering or obstruction of justice.

“Rather than wait for any response from the defense, the government sandbagged the process, filing this letter at 6:00 p.m. on Friday evening.” “The government apparently believes that a one-sided presentation — spun to put our client in the worst possible light — is the best way to get the outcome it seeks,” SBF’s lawyers wrote.

The Charles Schwab Corp. (NYSE: SCHW)  is among the most affected financial firms facing a drop in customer deposits due to the increased interest rate environment in the United States, according to its Q3 2023 report. This presents a real challenge for a company that relies primarily on clients’ uninvested cash to fund its interest-earning businesses. Charles Schwab’s consumer bank deposits tumbled 28% year-over-year (YoY), causing its net interest revenue to drop 23.5% in the third quarter, which also negatively affected its quarterly revenue of $4.61 billion (-16.2% from Q2). A recent post on X (Twitter) by the event-driven trader Gurgavin Chandhoke highlights Charles Schwab as the financial company with more accumulated losses in bank deposits since Q3 2022.
