Lawyers representing former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, or SBF, have claimed the “extraordinary accommodations” offered by authorities were insufficient in order for him to prepare for his criminal trial in October.

In an Aug. 25 filing in United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, SBF’s legal team said the plan proposed by prosecutors to allow the former FTX CEO access to discovery materials before trial were inadequate. Lawyers said the U.S. Justice Department produced roughly 4 million pages worth of discovery materials on Aug. 24 and there were “millions of pages of documents and terabytes of data” left for SBF to review for his criminal trial.
