Carmine Simpson, an ex-NYPD officer behind bars with Bankman-Fried, wrote a letter to US District Judge Lewis Kaplan where he pleaded for leniency on Bankman-Fried's behalf.
Kaplan is set to sentence Bankman-Fried on March 28, months after the FTX founder was found guilty of seven counts of fraud and conspiracy in November.
