Bankman-Fried had been under house arrest, but prosecutors convinced Judge Lewis A. Kaplan of the Federal District Court in Manhattan that Bankman-Fried had fed documents to the media in order to intimidate a witness in the case.
In June, Bankman-Fried filed a motion to dismiss, hoping that some of those charges would be dropped.
But Kaplan decided that his arguments in the motion were "either moot or without merit,” CNN reported.
In that report, Bankman-Fried shared private writings of Caroline Ellison, a former FTX executive and former girlfriend to Bankman-Fried who has pled guilty and is currently cooperating with law enforcement in their investigation of the cryptocurrency exchange, the Times reported.
The court found that Bankman-Fried tampered with witnesses at least twice, Reuters reported.
According to The New York Times, “The Times, the Reporters Committee for the Freedom of the Press, and a documentarian making a film” about Bankman-Fried “each submitted court filings raising First Amendment concerns about the gag order.”
