7. U.S. Department of Justice: SBF Should Be Prohibited from Mentioning Anthropic's Recent Funding in Defense
According to ChainCatcher and CoinDesk, the U.S. Department of Justice stated that FTX founder SBF should be prohibited from mentioning the recent fundraising activities of 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, and both sides have "reached an agreement" on many issues, but there is still a disagreement 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 U.S. Department of Justice's document states: "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 reached a deal with Amazon worth up to $4 billion and is negotiating to raise $2 billion. (Source link)
