The FTX founder was present at the court with his lawyers, Mark Cohen and Christian Everdell, before US district judge Lewis Kaplan. The court granted SBF’s plea, considering the threats his parents have received since FTX collapsed. Although Judge Kaplan granted the request, he left open the possibility that he would revisit the issue if there were any opposition.
The US District Court set a trial date for Oct. 2, 2023, following promises by US prosecutors that they would produce all evidence within four weeks. The plea, while not unexpected, will give Bankman-Fried more time to assess the evidence
