Deep Tide TechFlow News, March 23 — According to CoinDesk, federal prosecutors submitted documents to a judge questioning the authenticity of a letter sent from prison by FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried. Prosecutors pointed out that the letter was actually sent via FedEx from the Palo Alto or Menlo Park area, which does not match his federal prison at Terminal Island. The letter also incorrectly listed his federal prison as a state facility, used a typed signature instead of a handwritten one, and violated federal prison rules prohibiting the use of private couriers for mailing.

While prosecutors did not directly accuse SBF or his associates of forging documents, they stated that these discrepancies are sufficient to raise reasonable doubts about the letter’s origin and will impact the credibility of evidence in his reconsideration request. SBF is currently serving a 25-year sentence for fraud and conspiracy and is actively seeking a retrial, but the appellate judge has shown clear skepticism toward his claims.
