Yes, but only after you're formally charged. The prosecutors have to build their case before that happens, which will likely take years. They're also more than happy to have SBF free and talking to the media right now. He's giving them so much useful evidence.



Honestly, I’d be curious of the impact of this period on the criminal’s psychology, I bet it deeply exhausts their energy, knowing they’re basically in, only question is when and how much. No way to “enjoy” life with relatives or new friends, all avenues are closed, only thing you have is money and fear, and you read books about survival in prison. Perhaps try to make connections among judges and politicians to share your $34bn. The longer this period lasts, I really wonder whether it destroys the individual just as much as prison time. Waiting for a trial would destroy me, as an innocent.
