Bahamas judge denies Bankman-Fried bail request, remands him to prison

Bahamas Chief Magistrate JoyAnn Ferguson-Pratt on Tuesday denied a bail application by former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, remanding him to the Bahamas State Department of Corrections until Feb. 8.

The judge said Bankman-Fried's risk of flight was so great that he should be remanded to custody and adjourned the case until Feb. 8.
