Sam Bankman-Fried, the disgraced co-founder of FTX, is seeking access to crypto assets associated with FTX and Alameda Research, according to a letter written by his attorney, Mark Cohen. Cohen insists that the existing bail conditions “related to crypto asset transfers should be removed.”

In a letter to the Southern District of New York (SDNY) judge Lewis Kaplan, Sam Bankman-Fried’s attorney, Mark Cohen, explains that his team believes Bankman-Fried’s current bail conditions are unfair and should be removed. Bankman-Fried was indicted by a federal grand jury in Manhattan and faces eight charges, including wire fraud, conspiracy to commit commodities fraud, conspiracy to commit securities fraud, money laundering, conspiracy to defraud the Federal Election Commission, and campaign finance violations.
