Sam Bankman-Fried Revealed Names of Bond Signers

According to court records, the judge overseeing his criminal case said that Sam Bankman-Fried‘s bond signers’ identities must be made public.

According to the filing from Wednesday, Larry Kramer contributed $500,000, and Andreas Paepcke $200,000. Both have held positions at Stanford University, where Bankman-Fried’s parents had similar positions.

A New York judge granted Bankman-Fried’s release from detention in December in exchange for a $250 million bail. The parents of the suspected thief pledged their Palo Alto, California residence as security, but other parties had to sign the bond.

According to the college’s website, Larry Kramer was previously dean of Stanford Law School, and Andreas Paepcke is a senior research scientist.

One of the most prominent and costly colleges in the country is Stanford. In a statement, Kramer claimed to be a close friend of the Bankman-Frieds.
