Lawyers for Sam Bankman-Fried have until tomorrow to file for a postponement of his fraud trial scheduled to start on October 3 after they complained that his difficulties accessing the internet while in jail are undermining preparations.<\/p>\n
The lawyers are said that millions of pages of evidence were shared too late, given that Bankman-Fried’s trial will start on October 3 and the defendant is in jail.<\/p>\n
Judge Lewis Kaplan said that there was no evidence showing that the government acted in bad faith while the government argued that the documents produced earlier this month were obtained from Google, and Bankman-Fried already knew about them.<\/p>\n
Judge Kaplan appeared to agree with the government’s argument that most of the documents were obtained from the defendant’s personal Google accounts. The judge said that request for a postponement would not necessarily be granted.<\/p>\n
\nOK – now US v. Bankman-Fried, oral argument about SBF's complaints about discovery documents, strength of Internet during his twice-weekly courthouse visits, & desire to get back out to Palo Alto.
