, 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 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 which 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”.
Prosecutors in the case have pushed for SBF's $250-million bail to be revoked, claiming he used his freedom to intimidate Ellison — his former romantic partner and colleague — who is expected to offer testimony against the former FTX CEO.
“The defendant already gave them to one media outlet. It is akin to the evisceration of a Freedom of Information Act exemption by a record being already publicly available.” Among the details of Ellison's journals in the published NYT story included her describing feeling overwhelmed by her position at Alameda Research, and her break up with SBF. It's unclear what other information, if any, on Bankman-Fried or Ellison might come to light should the judge deny the request to seal.
