Who is helping Sam Bankman-Fried remain free on bail and out of prison?

We may not find out which two parties will “sign separate bonds in lesser amounts” in addition to the $250 million personal recognizance bond co-signed by Bankman-Fried’s parents. SBF’s lawyers are requesting to keep their info private.

That arrangement has allowed the FTX co-founder to stay with his parents in California after being extradited from the Bahamas, although he is due to appear in court in New York City again today at 1:05PM ET. As Bloomberg reports, he is expected to plead not guilty to the many criminal charges he’s facing.

Specifically, we request an order from the Court directing that the names and other identifying information of Mr. Bankman-Fried’s two remaining bail sureties (1) be redacted on the bonds they will sign, and (2) not be publicly disclosed by the Government. We have conferred with the Government on this issue and have been informed that the Government takes no position on the request.
