FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried asked a judge to keep confidential the identities of two people who will help secure his bail to protect them from public scrutiny and potential harassment.
Lawyers for Bankman-Fried on Tuesday filed a letter seeking redactions of the names of the two people who intend to sign on as sureties to his $250 million bail package, saying there is no need for public disclosure.
Courts frequently require sureties to sign onto significant bail packages to ensure a defendantâs appearances in court. Defense lawyers sometimes seek to mask the identities of the sureties to protect them from public scrutiny.
