A federal judge overseeing former FTX CEO Sam “SBF” Bankman-Fried’s criminal case has issued an order allowing Sam Bankman-Fried to meet with his legal team outside of jail for roughly seven hours.

In an Aug. 21 filing of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Judge Lewis Kaplan ruled that SBF will be allowed to meet with his counsel in the cell block attorney room at the courthouse on Aug. 22 regarding one of his scheduled hearings. Kaplan ordered SBF’s bail revoked on Aug. 11, sending the former FTX CEO to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, likely until the conclusion of his criminal trials.
