The FTX founder has been under house arrest since being charged with allegedly looting billions in customer deposits.
Sam Bankman-Fried pleaded not guilty Tuesday to charges he looted billions of dollars in customer deposits to his bankrupt crypto currency exchange FTX.
Bankman-Fried, 30, has been under house arrest in his parents’ California home on a $250 million bond. He was extradited to the United States from the Bahamas in late December to face charges he plundered customer accounts to use for risky hedge fund bets, a lavish lifestyle and millions in political donations.
“Mr. Bankman-Fried’s parents have received a steady stream of threatening correspondence, including communications expressing a desire that they suffer physical harm,” read the filing from Bankman-Fried’s lawyer. “There is serious cause for concern that the two additional sureties would face similar intrusions on their privacy as well as threats and harassment if their names appear unredacted on their bonds or their identities are otherwise publicly disclosed.
