New York CNN —Sam Bankman-Fried, the alleged crypto grifter, is about to learn which of two profoundly divergent paths he’ll take on the road to trial.
One path allows him to continue his house arrest in the comfort of his parents’ California home.
If his bail is revoked, Bankman-Fried will be immediately remanded to a notorious federal detention center in Brooklyn.
Bankman-Fried, who has pleaded not guilty to multiple conspiracy and fraud charges, is set to go to trial in October.
But the company came unglued in the span of a week last November — as concerns about its financial ties to Bankman-Fried’s crypto hedge fund, Alameda Research, spurred investors and customers to yank their funds.
