What’s Happening with SBF?
posted 15 Aug 2023
As he awaits his trial scheduled for October 2nd, Sam Bankman-Fried finds himself in the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center, notorious for its unsafe and unsanitary conditions.
In the past two days, two notable developments have emerged:
Yesterday, his legal team sought approval from a federal judge to allow him access to antidepressants while in detention.
According to a letter from his doctor, Sam has been receiving psychiatric treatment since February 2019 and “has a history of Major Depressive Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).”
Meanwhile, federal prosecutors claim that Bankman-Fried used funds taken from FTX customers to contribute more than $100 million to political campaigns before the 2022 U.S. midterm elections.
Antidepressants won’t help here either.
