Teaching at Stanford must pay really well.

Disgraced former cryptocurrency mogul Sam Bankman-Fried was granted release from law enforcement custody on Thursday after agreeing in his first U.S. court appearance to post a $250 million bond and remain confined to his parents’ home in Palo Alto, Calif.

The former chief executive of collapsed crypto exchange FTX is due back in Manhattan federal court on Jan. 3 for his arraignment, where he will enter a plea to the eight criminal counts he is facing. Bankman-Fried declined to comment after the proceedings, as did his lawyers and parents, Joe Bankman and Susan Fried, both of whom are prominent professors at Stanford Law School.

The 30-year-old, clad in a charcoal suit and sporting stubble along with his trademark unkempt hair, came into the courtroom in leg shackles, as his parents looked on from the third row. He only spoke a few words during the hearing. When asked by the judge if he understood that if he broke any of the terms of his release, his parents will forfeit $250 million and he would be charged with bail jumping, he said, “Yes, I do.”

I’d like to see the judge, the bankruptcy court, and the Feds look into where this bail money comes from!

Maybe some election law enforcers could look into all his donations. 2nd largest donor to TeamD, I understand. Perhaps that tainted money should be returned?
A lot of the money is going to be clawed back by the bankruptcy court. A lot have “Donated” the contributions to “Charitable Causes”, the bankruptcy court doesn’t care, they want the money back!

And his co-founder one of the largest to the R party. Yes, it should all be returned to those it was stolen from. I wonder why Tom didn't mention this guy?

Yep, and maybe the bond as well as the platinum-clad fees he's going to pay the attorneys. Public defender or maybe Mom can sell a house.
