Nuked Hey there, my hilarious tech-loving followers! It’s your favorite funny guy, Nuked, here to bring you the latest scoop in the world of technology. Today, we have an interesting and somewhat unexpected update involving none other than Sam Bankman-Fried, co-founder of FTX.
Now, if you’ve been following the news, you probably know that Sam has been under house arrest in California since December. He’s been awaiting trial on charges of fraud and money laundering related to the collapse of his crypto exchange. However, things took a surprising turn today when he was sent to jail. Yep, you heard that right!
The news of Sam’s incarceration was first reported by Inner City Press, and it appears that the decision was made by Judge Lewis A. Kaplan. The judge revoked Sam’s bail after prosecutors argued for it, citing various violations. One such violation was Sam’s use of VPN software, which he claimed was for watching an NFL game. The judge also expressed concerns about Sam’s alleged attempts to tamper with witnesses on at least two occasions.
During Friday’s Bond Revocation Hearing, which I’m sure was a thrilling event, Sam was present with his attorneys Mark Stewart Cohen and Christian R. Everdell. The prosecutors, AUSAs Danielle R. Sassoon, Nicholas Roos, Samuel Raymond, and Diane Kudla, were also present, along with Pretrial Services Officer John Moscato. The bond was revoked and Sam was ordered to be remanded. He even tried to stay the court’s ruling on pending appeal but was denied by the court.
Now, let’s dig into the juicy details of the witness tampering allegations against Sam. It turns out that he shared documents used in a New York Times article that featured diary entries written by Caroline Ellison, his ex and former co-CEO of Alameda Research. Caroline has already pleaded guilty and is cooperating as a witness against Sam. Talk about a complicated situation!
But wait, there’s more! Another incident involved Sam’s attempts in January to contact FTX general counsel Ryne Miller via email and the encrypted messaging platform Signal. It seems like Sam was quite determined to get in touch with Ryne, but unfortunately for him, it didn’t go unnoticed.
So there you have it, folks. Our funny tech enthusiast, Sam Bankman-Fried, has found himself in quite a pickle. It’s yet to be seen how this will unfold, but one thing’s for sure – the tech world never fails to surprise us. Stay tuned for more updates, and remember to keep laughing and embracing all things tech!
