A federal judge overseeing the criminal case against Sam Bankman-Fried, also known as “SBF,” will reportedly consider revoking the former FTX CEO’s $250 million bail based on allegations of intimidation against Caroline Ellison.

In a July 26 hearing in United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, individuals on site reported Assistant U.S. Attorney Danielle Sassoon requested the revocation of SBF’s bail based on allegations he used his freedom to intimidate Ellison, his former romantic partner and colleague. According to Sassoon, SBF made roughly 100 calls to a reporter behind The New York Times story that revealed Ellison’s private online journals.
