A federal judge ordered Sam Bankman-Fried back to court this week after learning that the founder of crypto trading platform FTX accessed the internet in a way the government can't track,Judge Lewis Kaplan set a hearing for Thursday after he was notified by prosecutors and attorneys for Bankman-Fried that the former so-called Crypto King used a virtual private network, or VPN, twice in the past month, including days after the judge expressed concern about the use of encrypted messaging apps.
The judge noted that Bankman-Fried used the VPN at least once after he was ordered to refrain from using encrypted messaging apps, adding, "The defendant's use of a VPN presents many of the same risks associated with his use of an encrypted messaging or call application." The judge said Bankman-Fried could not use VPNs until the outcome of the hearing.
That cushy house arrest with his co-conspirators isn't quite working out huh. If only the judicial system could nip these white collar crime patterns of loop holes and roller decks. Billions stolen is no small victimless crime, especially as he carries on with more crimes.
