SBF Requests More Adderall
Bankman-Fried’s defense team wrote to the court asking for a higher, longer-lasting dose of Adderall to ensure his ability to testify. The defense complained that the dosage the FTX founder was receiving was wearing off before the trial had even begun, so he couldn’t focus on the case. SBF’s lawyer Mark Cohen asked to adjourn the trial until the medicine could be secured.
Judge Kaplan denied the request to adjourn the trial but approved the request for a longer-lasting dose. He observed the FTX founder was doing just fine focusing on the trial. He added, “I can’t have lawyers giving drugs to people on trial.” Good call.
