The hearing schedule and bail status of Sam Bankman-Fried, the face of the FTX crisis, will be considered at the next hearing.
After a US judge made statements on the matter, he clarified what restrictions would be imposed if Bankman-Fried was released on bail, and whether the October 2 fraud trial would be postponed. Also, federal prosecutors based in Manhattan accused Bankman-Fried of stealing billions of dollars from FTX clients’ accounts to cover losses at his hedge fund, Alameda Research. Since the FTX crisis, developments regarding the event continue.
