One of the many questions surrounding Sam Bankman-Fried and the billions of dollars he sent up in smoke at FTX is the identity of the people who cosigned his hundreds of millions of dollars in bail bonds. Making bail allowed SBF to hole up in his parents’ mansion under house arrest rather than sitting in jail. His parents cosigned for $250 million, but two other anonymous figures guaranteed the other $700 million. A lawsuit was brought by several media outlets seeking the public release of their identities. Yesterday, a U.S. District Judge in Manhattan ruled that the names should be made public.
