FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried has been sent to jail by a US judge after federal prosecutors alleged Witness Tampering. Bankman-Fried's bail was revoked, and he was remanded into custody until his criminal trial begins on October 2. The judge stated that there is probable cause to believe Bankman-Fried tampered with witnesses, leading to his detention. Prosecutors claim that Bankman-Fried sent over 100 emails to the media and made over 1,000 phone calls to members of the press, including leaking private diary entries of his ex-girlfriend. Bankman-Fried's defense argued that he was exercising his First Amendment rights.
