The attorney, Mark Cohen, said they would contest the charges that were brought after Bankman-Fried’s extradition from the Bahamas to the US in December. Bankman-Fried has been indicted on 13 charges in what prosecutors have called one of the largest financial frauds in US history. This story is developing. It will be updated.
