TechFlow reported, according to CoinDesk, U.S. federal Judge Lewis Kaplan on Tuesday rejected multiple pre-trial release motions filed by former FTX CEO SBF, stating that SBF had brought this situation upon himself. SBF had previously been released on bail, but last month the judge for the Southern District of New York revoked that bail after finding that SBF had attempted to tamper with witnesses at least twice. SBF's attorneys, Mark Cohen and Christian Everdell, argued in written submissions and during a virtual hearing that SBF needed online access to much of the evidence, which is largely available only through online databases, and to contribute to a shared document detailing his work. The judge responded that neither SBF nor any other defendant has a right to review all evidence, and emphasized that SBF is represented by a large team of highly competent lawyers. Both prosecution and defense requested a trial in September or October, and the judge agreed. The trial is currently scheduled to begin on October 3.
