 <p class="is-style-lead">Lawyers claim that Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) needs his medications for <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="depression" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/depression.html">depression</a> and ADHD at Brooklyn’s detention center.&nbsp;</p> 
 <p>Reuters reported that SBF’s lawyers requested Emsam skin patches for <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="depression" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/depression.html">depression</a> and a few doses of Adderall for attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD) in the detention center.</p> 
 <p>The attorneys stated in a letter to U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan that the former FTX CEO has been prescribed the meds for five and three years.</p> 
 <blockquote class="wp-block-quote"> 
  <p>“Without these medications, mr. Bankman-Fried will experience a return of his <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="depression" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/depression.html">depression</a> and ADHD symptoms, which will severely impact his ability to assist in his own defense.”</p> <cite>SBF’s lawyers</cite> 
 </blockquote> 
 <p>Moreover, the 31-year-old disgraced CEO is waiting for his trial, scheduled for Oct. 2, while in detention for allegedly tampering with witnesses — his $250 million bail has been revoked.&nbsp;</p> 
 <p>Before heading to prison, SBF claimed, on Aug. 2, that the jail request violates the freedom of speech. The proposal for the former FTX CEO’s detention first came after the New York Times published parts of Caroline Ellison’s diary — SBF’s ex-lover.</p>

 <p>Another report states that SBF allegedly donated over $100 million to US politicians from the stolen FTX customers’ funds.&nbsp;</p> 
 <p>Furthermore, the report by The Economic Times reveals that SBF used that money to influence the U.S. Congress and regulators to end up in FTX’s favor ultimately.&nbsp;</p>
