A federal judge will hear Sam Bankman-Fried’s defense argument against a new batch of evidence provided by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) on Aug. 25. According to Bankman-Fried’s attorneys, an additional four million pages of discovery were released less than six weeks before his trial, which is scheduled for Oct. 3.
Judge Lewis Kaplan issued an order on Aug. 26 requesting the government to respond to letters from Bankman-Fried’s legal team regarding his appropriate access to discovery materials, as well as a request to prevent the government from using evidence produced after July 1.
