An attorney for Sam Bankman-Fried said an agreement had been reached by Bankman-Fried’s legal team and prosecutors to modify the former FTX CEO’s bail conditions on using electronic communications, according to a letter signed by Bankman-Fried attorney Mark Cohen.
The two sides are asking the court to modify Bankman-Fried's bail conditions to allow him to use various messaging apps, including FaceTime, Zoom, iMessage, SMS texts, emails, Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp. (For WhatsApp, Bankman-Fried's cell phone must have monitoring software installed to record those messages.)
