FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried has requested that the names of those who helped secure his bail remain hidden to avoid media outlets. Bankman-Fried’s lawyers said it was unnecessary for the identities to be public knowledge. In a letter, the lawyers said that the individuals would be “subjected to probing media scrutiny” and “potentially targeted for harassment.”
From The Post Millennial:
[Bankman-Fried's] parents have allowed for the equity of their $4 million house to secure a portion of his bail, but because their home is not worth anywhere near that amount, the judge asked that two other people of "considerable means," one of whom can not be a relative, to sign the bond. The two unidentified individuals have yet to sign, but Bankman-Fried's lawyers have stated that they indend to do so by the January 5 deadline.
