In a court filing on Friday, prosecutors said that Bankman-Fried had leaked private writings from his former girlfriend, Caroline Ellison, to a New York Times reporter. Ellison is expected to testify against Bankman-Fried at his trial in October, on charges of fraud and market manipulation.

Prosecutors said that Bankman-Fried’s actions were “an effort to discredit and intimidate a witness” and that they “pose a serious risk of interfering with the fair administration of justice.”
Bankman-Fried’s lawyers have denied the allegations, calling them “baseless.” They said that Bankman-Fried had shared the writings with the reporter in order to “set the record straight” about his relationship with Ellison.
