A federal judge is allowing former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, or SBF, access to his legal team outside of jail, provided he gives sufficient notice.

In an Aug. 23 order filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Judge Lewis Kaplan said SBF would be allowed access to discovery materials in his criminal case in a courthouse cell block with 48 hours’ notice to prosecutors and the U.S. Marshals Service. The order came prior to Kaplan reaching a decision on motions from the Justice Department and SBF’s legal team regarding how much time the former FTX CEO would be allowed outside of the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn in order to assist in the preparation of his case.
