Last month, Bankman-Fried entered a not-guilty plea. He was subsequently granted free on bond for $250 million, stipulating that he waits for trial at his parent’s residence in Palo Alto, California.
The attorneys responded to a move made by some media sites to unseal the names of two individuals who, besides Bankman-parents, Fried had agreed to sign the recognizance bond.
The attorneys, Mark Cohen and Chris Everdell, argue in part that the court should not unseal the names because doing so could jeopardize the clients’ safety.
They referred to an incident where a black car crashed into a metal barricade in front of the Bankman-Fried residence as supporting evidence.
According to the attorneys, three males got out of the vehicle and shouted “something to the effect of: ‘You won’t be able to keep us out.'”
How Many People Were In The Car?

The lawyers wrote. “Given the notoriety of this case and the extraordinary media attention it receives, it is reasonable to assume that the (two bond signers) will also face significant privacy and safety concerns.”
Because of the severity of the alleged crimes committed by Bankman-Fried and the fact that there is a legal precedent for disclosing the names of bail sureties, eight different news organizations have argued that the terms should be unsealed. The Associated Press is one of these news organizations.
In a letter to Judge Kaplan dated January 12, the media outlets wrote: “The public, however, has an interest in knowing.
Who it is that provided Mr. Bankman-Fried with financial backing following this alleged massive fraud and political scandal, particularly given Mr. Bankman-close Fried’s relationships with leaders of the financial industry, investors, prominent Silicon Valley billionaires, and elected representatives.”
