Sam Bankman-Fried's Jail Sentence Upheld by Appeals Court

A U.S. appeals court has upheld the decision to keep Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX, in jail ahead of his fraud trial. The court agreed with the judge's finding that Bankman-Fried had likely attempted to tamper with witnesses, including sharing personal writings of a former executive with a reporter. Bankman-Fried faces charges of fraud and conspiracy related to the collapse of FTX, with prosecutors accusing him of looting customer funds. He has pleaded not guilty and complained about a lack of internet access in jail. The court also restricted his ability to call expert witnesses for trial.
