Reuters reports that federal prosecutors in Manhattan have accused him of stealing billions of dollars worth of client assets from FTX. This was in order to cover losses at his hedge fund, which is called Alameda Research.

A prosecutor by the name of Nicolas Roos informed the United States Magistrate Judge Gabriel Gorenstein that the bail conditions would compel Bankman-Fried to hand up his passport. In addition to this, he is entitled to remain in home confinement at his parent’s residence in Palo Alto, California.

Further, it would be essential for him to go through frequent evaluations and treatments for his mental health.

On Thursday, a request for Bankman-Fried to enter a plea was not made. He has admitted that in the past there were problems with risk management at FTX.

Following the hearing in the Manhattan federal court, his defense attorney, Mark Cohen, refused to comment on the matter.
