U.S. Proposes New Restrictions on Bankman-Fried’s Gaming
Sam Bankman-Fried, the former CEO of crypto exchange FTX, may no longer be able to enjoy the fun of playing video games like League of Legends if proposed changes to his bail conditions from United States prosecutors are approved.
On Feb. 15, U.S. Attorney Damian Williams wrote a letter to United States District Judge Lewis Kaplan, expressing concern over Bankman-Fried’s recent device usage and requesting the court to further expand restrictions surrounding the former CEO’s electronic device usage.
In the letter, Williams agreed with the court’s intuition that it was “shortsighted” to focus only on restricting the use of apps, and suggested broader restrictions on Bankman-Fried’s cellphone, tablet, computer, and internet usage, with limited exceptions.
The proposed bail conditions would allow Bankman-Fried to use a single computer and cell phone to review pre-trial evidence, communicate with lawyers and access emails. A “pen register” — a device or process that produces a list of phone numbers or internet addresses contacted from a specific source — would be used to monitor his Gmail account.
The news has been met with criticism from the crypto community, as the initial bail conditions required Bankman-Fried to wear an ankle bracelet but allowed him to have full computer and internet access from his parents’ luxurious home in California.
Bankman-Fried is known to be an avid gamer, and during an interview with the New York Times on Nov. 13, he mentioned that playing games helps him “unwind a bit” and clear his mind. However, if the proposed restrictions are approved, Bankman-Fried will no longer be able to partake in the activity.
The Justice Department also recently discovered that Bankman-Fried had used a VPN on two occasions to watch sports coverage, and a hearing will be held on Feb. 16 to discuss a temporary ban on the use of VPNs.
As the crypto space continues to evolve, the need for NFTs and NFT marketing is becoming increasingly apparent. NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, are digital assets that are unique and can be used to represent ownership of digital or physical assets. They can be used to promote and sell digital art, collectibles, gaming assets, and more.
NFTs have become increasingly popular in the crypto space, and many web3 companies are leveraging them to promote their projects and products. As such, there is a need for specialized NFT marketing agencies to help companies navigate the complex world of NFTs, and to help them effectively promote their products.
Twitter, in particular, has become an effective platform for NFT marketing, with many companies using the platform to promote their NFTs and engage with potential buyers. NFT marketing agencies can help companies maximize the potential of Twitter for NFT promotion, by helping them craft effective campaigns and engage with the right audiences.
Overall, the potential of NFTs and NFT marketing is huge, and with the help of specialized web3 agencies, companies can leverage them to effectively promote their products and reach potential buyers.
