Sam Bankman-Fried sent to jail as judge revokes bail over witness tampering, VPN use
SBF claimed he used the VPN to watch a football game.
Judge Lewis A. Kaplan ordered the former billionaire remanded after prosecutors pushed to have his bail revoked, citing violations that included Bankman-Fried’s admitted usage of VPN software that he said was to watch an NFL game and the judge’s view that he had attempted to tamper with witnesses “at least twice.”
You're viewing a single thread.
I had no idea that VPN usage was controversial. I had to use them for work in the past. I just assumed that private parties would be using them eventually.
@MonsiuerPatEBrown @ken27238 i think it was more of the violation of terms of his house arrest
It’s only controversial if your online life is being monitored as a condition of bail. The VPN gets around the monitoring.
