U.S. Department of Justice: SBF should be prohibited from mentioning Anthropic's recent financing situation in his defense

ChainCatcher news, according to CoinDesk, the U.S. Department of Justice has stated that FTX founder SBF should be prohibited from mentioning the recent fundraising activities of the AI company Anthropic in his defense.

It is reported that the U.S. Department of Justice has been discussing potential issues to raise in SBF's trial, with both sides having "reached an agreement" on many issues, but still disagreeing on whether the defense team can raise questions related to Anthropic's fundraising. The U.S. Department of Justice claims that the $500 million investment in Anthropic in 2022 came from customer funds.

The documents from the U.S. Department of Justice state: "The indictment alleges that SBF committed fraud by misappropriating FTX customer deposits for investments and other expenditures. Whether certain investments ultimately yield profits is irrelevant."

According to Bloomberg's report last week, Anthropic has reached a deal with Amazon worth up to $4 billion and is in talks to raise $2 billion in funding.
