Disgraced crypto mogul Sam Bankman-Fried will still face seven criminal charges, prosecutors said on Tuesday in a letter to the judge overseeing the case—and a campaign finance charge is not going away. 

The Complex Frauds and Cybercrime Unit at the Southern District of New York U.S. Attorney’s Office hit Bankman-Fried with eight charges in December. One of the charges—conspiracy to defraud the United States and violate the campaign finance laws—was dropped in July by the Justice Department.

The DOJ said today, however, that in addition to moving forward with the seven other criminal charges from the original indictment, prosecutors will include the alleged illegal finance scheme in another charge.

“The government writes to notify the Court and the defendant that it plans to seek a superseding indictment next week that will contain the seven counts that the government intends to prove at trial in October, which were the first seven charges of the original indictment,” Tuesday’s letter to Judge Lewis Kaplan read.
