A U.S. judge ruled that prosecutors can mention FTT and other related content during the trial of SBF, but the SBF side cannot mention charitable work

ChainCatcher news, according to CoinDesk, Judge Lewis Kaplan, who is responsible for the SBF criminal case, addressed most of the pending restrictions or pretrial motions in a lengthy 16-page order on Tuesday, ruling that SBF's lawyers could question Department of Justice witnesses about their use of recreational drugs during next month's fraud trial, but the lawyers must notify the court and the government before raising this topic.

Additionally, the judge denied the SBF team's motion to prevent the Department of Justice from introducing evidence related to the bankruptcy of cryptocurrency exchanges, stating that SBF is accused of manipulating the cryptocurrency FTT, directing Alameda to hold a large amount of the token and supporting market manipulation of that token, which is considered part of the alleged conduct.

According to Decrypt, the judge ruled that SBF cannot tell the jury about his charitable work or the time he has spent in jail since his self-bail was revoked during the criminal trial, stating that evidence related to family background, health, age, pretrial detention, or any other similar factors is irrelevant to the crimes he is accused of.
