Bankman-Fried's current detention arrangement, which allows him to stay confined at home rather than in jail, stands out as an exception compared to how most federal defendants are handled. Unlike the rough conditions at Fox Hill prison in the Bahamas where he was briefly held before extradition, Bankman-Fried now resides in the peaceful Stanford neighborhood. Prosecutors claim that he has reached out to former FTX officials, who may serve as witnesses in his trial. While the U.S. government has attempted to restrict his usage of virtual private networks and message-disappearing apps, a final ruling on this matter is still pending. Amid midterm exams, some students are too preoccupied to pay attention to Bankman-Fried's presence, whereas others simply have no interest in him. An anonymous sophomore, aspiring for a career in politics and wishing to avoid any association with Bankman-Fried, declined her friends' invitation to visit his house.
