The ex-CEO of FTX allegedly called a New York Times journalist around 100 times before the paper leaked info from ex-Alameda head Caroline Ellison’s diary.
, with some lasting more than 20 minutes at a time. Prosecutors complained that SBF used his Google Drive and Docs accounts to leak confidential information to the Times. The judge handling the case, Lewis Kaplan, did not make a decision on the feds’ request and gave the defense until the beginning of August to respond to the DOJ’s allegations.
. Ellison is a star witness for the prosecution as she previously led SBF’s hedge fund arm Alameda Research. She has been cooperating with the feds ever since she and some other former FTX execs joined a plea agreement in exchange for reduced sentences. Prosecutors said this was just an attempt to cast Ellison in a poor light and release court-sensitive information outside the normal processes of discovery.
