FTX Founder Sam Bankman-Fried requested permission to stay in a temporary detention facility in New York City. 
According to a&nbsp;<a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.590940/gov.uscourts.nysd.590940.425.0_2.pdf" target="_blank" rel="">document</a>&nbsp;submitted to the U.S. District Court, Bankman-Fried’s legal representatives are seeking consent to allow him to stay at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.&nbsp; 
Since August 2023, Bankman-Fried has been held at this facility. His lawyers argue that remaining in Brooklyn would ease the coordination with his appeal lawyers, as Bankman-Fried plans to challenge his conviction and the subsequent sentencing.

Judge Lewis Kaplan determined Bankman-Fried should serve his sentence in prison near the San Francisco Bay Area, considering his family’s proximity to that location.
