According to The Block, a U.S. court has reportedly granted certain privileges to Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), the founder of FTX, ahead of his criminal trial scheduled to be held in New York. The court has allowed SBF to wear a suit and use a laptop "offline" during the trial.

This means that SBF's lawyers can provide him with suits, dress shirts, ties, socks, and shoes so that he can appear in court without wearing a prison uniform. Additionally, SBF is permitted to take notes on a laptop that is not connected to the internet during the trial.

SBF is currently facing accusations of misappropriating billions of dollars worth of customer assets. If found guilty, he could potentially face a lengthy prison sentence. His criminal trial is scheduled to commence on October 3 (local time).

These accommodations made by the court are part of the legal process to ensure a fair and just trial for the accused. 🏛️👔💻 #FTX #LegalProceedings #CriminalTrial
