Sam Bankman-Fried pleaded not guilty in New York federal court Thursday to five additional charges related to the collapse of his former crypto exchange FTX and hedge fund Alameda Research.
Bankman-Fried’s attorney, Mark Cohen, said he plans to file a motion that his client not be tried on all the counts. Bankman-Fried’s team will argue that someone extradited under the U.S.-Bahamas treaty can only be tried on the charges they were extradited for. “As Mr. Cohen stated in court, we will be challenging the new charges when motions are filed,” a spokesperson for Sam Bankman-Fried said.
