The internet in federal jail is apparently not very reliable, and that is prompting Sam Bankman-Fried’s (SBF) legal team to renew their calls to secure him early release so that he may better prepare for his upcoming legal case.
In a filing submitted to a federal judge on Friday, Bankman-Fried’s lawyers said that their client is not being provided adequate access to the internet to review documents as part of his defense. After being taken into custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Manhattan, the lawyers argue that they have “lost time to effectively prepare for trial” because conditions at the jail hamper the defense’s preparations.
“We therefore respectfully reiterate our request that the court order Mr. Bankman Fried’s temporary release,” wrote his attorneys.
This request follows an earlier one filed on September 5 that outlined various ways conditions in the correctional facility are creating obstacles for Bankman-Fried’s defense.
