Outside court as judge revokes FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried's $250 bail

Disgraced FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried has had his $250m (£197m) bail revoked and has been sent to jail after alleged witness tampering.

US District Judge Lewis Kaplan made the decision after prosecutors said he had tried to harass a key witness in his fraud case last month.

Bankman-Fried, 31, was charged with defrauding investors in the US after he allegedly stole billions of dollars – spending tens of millions on political donations.
