SDNY COURTHOUSE, Oct 11 – On the US v Sam Bankman-Fried trial, hours after the guilty verdict, a book was published: "Crypto Criminal: The Conviction of Sam Bankman-Fried: As live tweeted and investigated from inside the SDNY courthouse by Matthew Russell Lee," audio/book here.

  On March 28, 2024, Inner City Press live tweeted his sentencing, to 25 years.

On May 28 Salame was "sentenced to 90 months."

On August 21, Salame filed that "the Government used the plea negotiations to threaten Salame’s domestic partner and the mother of his child, Michelle Bond." Full filing on Patreon here.

 On August 22, after Inner City Press published a curtain raiser on Michelle Bond being presented in SDNY Mag court, it happened, from the thread.

On October 9, Salame filed a redacted letter seeking surrender delay until December 7, citing the "injuries sustained on or about June 29" and noting that "the Government opposes this request." Letter and extra on Patreon here

On October 10 the US Attorney's Office filed its opposition including "He attended a court conference on September 12, 2024, at which he appeared physically recovered and was more than capable of answering the Court’s questions with no signs of drooling or slurred speech." Letter on Patreon here.

Judge Kaplan this in denying Salame's request, adding in his questions about Salame's veracity. Salame took to LinkedIn, then noted on X he was surprised people still use LinkedIn.
