4. SOUNDBITE (English) Larry Neumeister, Associated Press:
"Sam Beckman-Fried had an amazing last 24 hours, where he was in the Bahamas waiving extradition then he was brought to the United States overnight, getting here very late. Then he was brought to the Manhattan courthouse today, where his parents were and where they agreed to sign this $250-million bail. And the prosecutor, Nicholas Roos, said that the fact that he waived extradition was a major factor in the prosecutors not asking that he be held without bail until trial."

"Well the judge, magistrate judge who granted and accepted the bail package said he didn't really fear the risk of flight very much because at this point, Sam Bankman-Fried has such notoriety that it would be very hard for him to hide somewhere or to not be seen if he ran to an airport, to a train depot or a bus station to try to get out of the country."

STORYLINE:
Cryptocurrency entrepreneur Sam Bankman-Fried walked out of a Manhattan courthouse Thursday with his parents after they agreed to sign a $250 million bond and keep him at their California home while he awaits trial on charges that he swindled investors and looted customer deposits on his FTX trading platform.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Nicolas Roos said in U.S. District Court that Bankman-Fried, 30, "perpetrated a fraud of epic proportions." Roos proposed strict bail terms, including a $250 million bond — which he said is believed to be the largest federal pretrial bond ever — and house arrest at his parents' home in Palo Alto, California.
An important reason for allowing bail was that Bankman-Fried agreed to waive extradition, Roos said.
Reunited with his parents and lawyers inside the courthouse, an apparently silent Bankman-Fried shook the hands of a supporter before heading out the door, where photographers and video crews rushed him until he left in a car.
Magistrate Judge Gabriel W. Gorenstein agreed to the bond and also approved the house arrest proposal, though he required that an electronic monitoring bracelet be affixed to Bankman-Fried before he left the courthouse. Roos had recommended it be attached Friday in California.
"Yes, I do," Bankman-Fried answered.
