Bankman-Fried violated his bail conditions by feeding information to the New York Times about his ex-girlfriend and former top underling Caroline Ellison, determined federal judge Lewis A. Kaplan, according to reporters present at the courtroom.

Ellison, who was CEO of Bankman-Fried’s hedge fund Alameda Research, is expected to testify against Bankman-Fried in his trial for overseeing an extensive web of fraud and corruption at Alameda and his FTX crypto exchange.
