DOJ seeks SBF’s bail revocation over tampering, diary leak allegations

In a letter to Judge Lewis Kaplan, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) sought the revocation of Sam Bankman-Frieds (SBF) bail, implicating him of attempting to tamper with witnesses, including dripping his ex-girlfriends diary entries to the New York Times (NYT). He could view SBFs actions as an effort to incorrectly affect witnesses and choose to either make further adjustments to his bail conditions or even withdraw his bail entirely.Related: Sam Bankman-Frieds legal team turns over docs related to NYT story, demands they be sealedHe argued that Judge Kaplan will face a difficult choice in this case.
