Lawyers representing former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, also known as ‘“SBF,” have requested the court seal documents related to his interviews with a New York Times reporter revealing details about his relationship with Caroline Ellison.
In a July 27 filing in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Bankman-Fried’s legal team said it had provided the court and Department of Justice with documents the former FTX CEO had shown a reporter that led to details in Ellison’s private journals being published. The lawyers requested Judge Lewis Kaplan allow them to file the documents under seal, citing “the need to avoid their public dissemination.”
