U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan in Manhattan ruled that Bankman-Fried, the founder of bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX, must be jailed for tampering with witnesses while free on $250 million bond at his parents' home in Palo Alto, California.
NEW YORK -Sam Bankman-Fried will prepare for his fraud trial from a Brooklyn jail where inmates ranging from convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell to Honduras' former president have complained of subpar conditions.
In recent years, MDC has been plagued by persistent staffing shortages, power outages and maggots in inmates' food. Earlier this year, a guard pleaded guilty to accepting bribes to smuggle in drugs. Public defenders have called conditions "inhumane." A spokesperson for the U.S. Bureau of Prisons, which runs MDC, said in a statement the agency makes "every effort to ensure the physical safety of individuals confined to our facilities through a controlled environment that is secure and humane."Founded in 1994, MDC currently hosts 1,608 inmates. It is now the jail housing detainees awaiting federal trials in New York City, after the Manhattan Correctional Center closed in 2021 for improvements.
In a letter on Monday, Bankman-Fried's lawyers asked Kaplan to order MDC to provide their client with daily prescription medications for depression and attention deficit hyperactive disorder.
