New York The founder of the bankrupt FTX stock exchange, Sam Bankman-Fried, has been allowed to spend time at his parents’ home in Palo Alto, California, on $250 million bail. The 30-year-old also has to hand in his passport and is under strict surveillance while under house arrest. This was according to court documents released after Thursday’s hearing in the Southern District Court in New York.
In addition, Bankman-Fried should begin treatment and rehabilitation, The New York Times reported. If he breaks a condition or if he strays from mandatory court dates, bail must be posted.
