 Past 6 pm on December 29, 2023 the US Attorney Office wrote to Judge Kaplan "to provide notice to the Court and the defendant that it does not plan to proceed with a second trial in the above-captioned matter." So no evidence and cross examination about the campaign finance and China bribe counts, no getting to the bottom of who took the money. It is known that officials in the Bahamas, whose request to drop these charges DOJ cited in severing them, took SBF's and FTX customers' money.

Past 11 pm on February 27, SBF's memo posited his sentencing guideline at 63 to 78 months and asked for a sentence "that returns Sam promptly to a productive role in society." Memo on Patreon here

On March 15, the US Attorney's Office put in a 100+ page memo, asking for a prison term of 40 to 50 years. US memo on Patreon here.

On March 27, after SBF's letters on autism and MIT, DOJ wrote in that "Here, where none of the investors $1.7 billion was returned, the loss figure is the same." Letter on Patreon here.
