Bankman-Fried Asks Judge To Hide Identities Of Bail Guarantors

• Zero Hedge

FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried has asked a judge to conceal the identities of two people who will help secure his bail in addition to his parents' house in Palo Alto, California, Bloomberg reports.

"If the two remaining sureties are publicly identified, they will likely be subjected to probing media scrutiny, and potentially targeted for harassment, despite having no substantive connection to the case," wrote SBF's lawyers in a letter filed on Tuesday seeking redactions of the names of the two individuals who intend to sign as sureties to his bail.

"Consequently, the privacy and safety of the sureties are "countervailing factors" that significantly outweigh the presumption of public access to the very limited information at issue," the letter continues.
