- Sam Banman-Fried’s lawyers conveyed their objection to the court’s plan to provide SBF access to discovery materials.
- The lawyers argued that the plan is plainly inadequate and SBF needs more time to prepare for his trial.
- Adam Cochran believes that the court’s 4 million page evidence against SBF could unveil his shady dealings.
According to recent reports, the lawyers of the ill-famed Sam Bankman-Fried have put forward their objection to the prosecutors’ current proposal to provide SBF access to discovery materials before his criminal trial in October, alleging that the plan is “plainly inadequate.” In a Twitter thread posted earlier today, Adam Cochran, the founder of the venture capital firm Cinneamhain Ventures (CEHV), lambasted the lawyers at their request for more “time to prepare.”
In a letter addressed to Judge Lewis Kaplan, Bankman-Fried’s attorneys wrote on August 25, conveying their disagreement with the government’s “current plan to provide discovery access while Mr. Bankman is detained at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC).” In addition, the lawyers asserted that the plan strictly violates Fried’s Sixth Amendment right to have the counsel’s assistance and participation in his defense preparation. Further, the legal team pointed out the limited time offered by the court, stating:
The Government cannot be allowed to dump millions of pages on the defense less than six weeks before trial, especially when the Government has no plans whatsoever to produce the documents to Mr. Bankman-Fried in the MDC for his review.
Meanwhile, Cochran shed light on the possible outcome of the upcoming criminal trial, considering the court’s possession of all the required details that could aid the prosecutors in unveiling Bankman-Fried’s involvement in the debacle of his crypto firm FTX. He stressed that the court holds SBF’s personal chats, account details, money transaction details, and other relevant documents.
Furthermore, the CEHV founder argued that the recently released 4 million pages of the court’s evidence against SBF could “unearth every shady dealing around.” He reiterated that the court has clear evidence of the FTX founder’s pre-knowledge of his fraud dealings and operations.
