Feds Arrest Sam Bankman-Fried to Prevent Him Testifying to Congress

NC Renegade

SBF of the FTX political funding scandal is about to be deader than a doornail if they have their way.

The man was set to testify tomorrow before the House Financial Services Committee, and now has suddenly been apprehended by police in the Bahamas at the request of the US Gov’s SDNY office.

This means that he will be held in the Bahamas until a formal extradition request is made to transfer, and will eliminate his testimony before the GOP from taking place.
This should be illegal, and is in fact illegal to infringe upon a witness in a crime or suspect in a crime from appearing before congress by abuse of law.

Under 18 U.S.C. 1505

As amended by the Victim and Witness Protection Act of 1982, the prohibitions contained in 18 U.S.C. § 1505 are limited to: (1) obstructions of process issued under the Antitrust Civil Process Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1311-14, and under that section’s omnibus clause, and (2) obstructions pertaining to pending proceedings before Congress and Federal departments and agencies. Tampering with witnesses and retaliating against witnesses and parties in connection with administrative or legislative proceedings are offenses now covered by 18 U.S.C. §§ 1512 (tampering) and 1513 (retaliation).

Effectively, Attempting to use the law to obstruct the law and prevent witness testimony, is in fact a violation of the law.

Will anyone hold them accountable before SBF ends up on ice, is the only question.
