Just recently, his $250 million bail was revoked after he allegedly attempted to intimidate a crucial witness, prompting his return to jail. This incident, along with others raises serious concerns about his commitment to a fair trial.

While access to resources for a strong defense is essential, the delicate balance between fair proceedings and potential misconduct is paramount. Granting weekday freedom to Bankman-Fried, whose actions have already cast doubt on his respect for these principles, should not be an option anymore.

The decision on his request will reflect the court's commitment to justice, maintaining the integrity of the legal process while ensuring he faces the consequences of his actions.
