Federal prosecutors said FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried contacted the former general counsel of the crypto trading platform earlier this month in a move they say may constitute witness tampering

A spokesperson for Bankman-Fried declined to comment. Prosecutors with the US attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York asked the judge to amend Bankman-Fried’s bail conditions to prohibit him from communicating with current or former employees of FTX or its sister hedge fund Alameda research unless he is with his attorney or has approval from the government.

Witness-1 participated in Signal and Slack communications with the defendant and a small group of company insiders during the relevant events of November 2022. In those messages, among other things, the defendant gave instructions for liquidating Alameda’s investments to satisfy FTX customer withdrawals, and indicated that he transferred approximately $45 million dollars of Alameda funds to FTX US to fill an apparent hole in FTX US’s balance sheet,” prosecutors said.

Put him in jail like any other criminal and that would be the end of the problem!

No way they can sell the conviction of this guy, but let the grand marmalade Mussolini Trump escape conviction for the same crime of 'witness tampering'
