US District Judge Lewis Kaplan justified the revocation of bail by citing"probable cause... that the defendant has committed the federal crime of attempted witness tampering," the ruling said. Bankman-Fried"crossed a line toward improperly influencing those prospective jurors and intimidating a witness and sending a message to other prospective witnesses," it said.In response, attorneys for Bankman-Fried said the government's position flouted the First Amendment and that returning the defendant to jail would mar his ability to mount a defense.
