The research director and former dean of Stanford University was revealed to be the bond signer of SBF

It is reported that after SBF did not apply to the Court of Appeal, a federal judge ruled that the names of the co-signers of the bonds of Sam Bankman-Frie (SBF) should be disclosed. Lewis Kaplan, a District Judge for the Southern District of New York, initially made a ruling in favor of news organizations including CoinDesk. The latter believed that it was in the public interest to disclose the name of the signer of the SBF, but said that the decision was pending appeal. SBF said in a new ruling on Wednesday that the lawyers had issued a notice that they would appeal, but did not file an actual appeal.

Interpretation of this information:

A federal judge has ruled that the names of co-signers for Sam Bankman-Fried’s (SBF) bonds should be made public, after SBF did not apply to the Court of Appeal. News organizations like CoinDesk argued that it was important for the public to know who signed the bonds, and Judge Lewis Kaplan agreed. However, the decision is still pending an appeal, which SBF’s lawyers have notified but not yet filed. This development may shed light on who exactly is backing SBF’s bonds, which could have implications for the wider crypto industry.
