The legal team defending Sam Bankman-Fried against criminal charges has requested a federal judge allow the former FTX CEO to have access to antidepressants while in jail.
According to a letter provided by Dr. George Lerner, Bankman-Fried has been under psychiatric care since February 2019 and “has a history of Major Depressive Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).”
“Without the aforementioned psychiatric medications, [...] Mr. Bankman-Fried will experience a return of his depression and ADHD symptoms and will be severely negatively impacted in his ability to assist in his own defense,” said Lerner.
