SDNY COURTHOUSE, Jan 8 – 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:

AUSA Sweat: We propose release on $1 million bond, 1 financially responsible co-signer

Judge: I accept those conditions, travel restricted to the continental US

On January 8, 2025 Inner City Press attended the US v. Michelle Bond status conference. The AUSA called it a "spin off" of the FTX case; Judge Daniels set a next conference, to set trial date he said, for June 10 at 10 am.
