[U.S. federal prosecutors request to detain former FTX CEO] According to Golden Finance, Reuters revealed that at a hearing held in Manhattan federal court on Wednesday, federal prosecutors requested that former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) be detained before his trial. He was detained for several months. Prosecutor Danielle Sassoon said no conditions of release could ensure the safety of the community. Previously, the U.S. Department of Justice accused SBF of leaking to the media the private diaries of former colleague Caroline Ellison. Ellison once ran Alameda Research and pleaded guilty to multiple charges last year. According to Inner City Press, SBF, who is currently under house arrest, attempted to "intimidate" Ellison and made 100 phone calls to the reporter for the New York Times article, some of which lasted more than 20 minutes.
