FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried is poised to serve jail time.
Based on findings, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan concluded there exists credible evidence that Bankman-Fried was involved in witness tampering on multiple occasions, leading to the decision to revoke his bail.
Previously under house arrest in Palo Alto, California since the previous December, Bankman-Fried's situation was further complicated by a series of information leaks.
Kaplan stated that a gag order wouldn't be a feasible solution in the long run, especially when it comes to someone who constantly challenges and tests the limits.

As reported by U.Today, he was released from Manhattan federal court on a $250 million personal recognizance bond back in December.
