TechFlow news — Former FTX CEO SBF has agreed to a "gag order" that would prevent him from making public comments to third parties that could interfere with his trial. However, he argues the order should also apply to all potential witnesses, including current FTX CEO John Ray.
The gag order against Sam Bankman-Fried was initially proposed on July 20, after the U.S. government accused the FTX founder of publicly disparaging his former business partner and witness Caroline Ellison in an interview with The New York Times, allegedly attempting to undermine a fair trial.
SBF's law firm, Cohen & Gresser LLP, denied these allegations in a letter dated July 22 addressed to Judge Lewis A. Kaplan of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, but agreed to accept the gag order as requested.
