Judge Demands Prompt Response from Sam Bankman-Fried's Legal Team Amidst Trial Delays and Payment Disputes

The judge overseeing the trial of Sam Bankman-Fried, founder of FTX, has expressed frustration with his defense team's requests for postponement and concerns over evidence production. The judge rejected their request to exclude recent evidence, stating that Bankman-Fried had ample access to review it prior to his detention. The defense team has until the end of the week to file any postponement request, but the judge emphasized that it would need to demonstrate a legitimate need for more time. The conditions of Bankman-Fried's detention, including access to lawyers and the internet, are still being worked out.
