 <p>An Aug. 30 Tweet thread from Inner City Press, a public interest organization based in the South Bronx of New York City, revealed the new move. </p> 
 <p>Federal Judge Lewis Kaplan has indicated that former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) has until Sept. 7 to request a jury trial.</p>

    <p lang="en" dir="ltr">Judge Kaplan: The deadline for me to request a jury for an October 3 <a rel="dofollow" title="trial" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/trial.html">trial</a> is September 7. So if you are going to move, do it by the end of this week.

 <p>This tight deadline drew concern from Bankman-Fried’s lawyers, who noted their client’s right to a discovery period before the <a rel="dofollow" title="trial" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/trial.html">trial</a> scheduled for Oct. 3.</p> 
 <p>The development came during a hearing focused on motions for Bankman-Fried’s temporary release to prepare for the <a rel="dofollow" title="trial" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/trial.html">trial</a>. When Kaplan inquired if the defense needed more time, they responded, “not at this time.”</p> 
 <p>The second trial date, pending approval from the Bahamas, is slated for March 11.</p> 
 <p>Bankman-Fried’s legal team is expected to focus on the role of prior legal advisors in his decision-making process. They plan to present evidence showing that counsel from Fenwick &amp; West LLP and in-house legal experts were key in guiding significant actions during his tenure.</p>

 <p>Bankman-Fried had his $250 million bail revoked for allegedly attempting to tamper with witnesses.</p> 
 <p>Currently, he is seeking space outside detention weekly to prepare for his upcoming <a rel="dofollow" title="trial" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/trial.html">trial</a>. His attorneys rejected a two-day-a-week release proposal offered by the U.S. government, as they want a five-day term.</p> 
 <p>In addition to that, some think that the FTX former CEO is not capable of staying in a detention center. SBF’s lawyers requested Emsam skin patches for depression and a few doses of Adderall for attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD) in the detention center.</p>
