US judge rejects SBF's request to extend sentencing proceedings
CoinDesk reported that US federal judge Lewis Kaplan rejected SBF's request to extend the sentencing process and postpone the interview with the US probation and pretrial services system. SBF's lawyer requested on Wednesday to extend the sentencing hearing originally scheduled for March 28 next year by four to six weeks, stating that the US Department of Justice may conduct a second trial on charges of bank fraud and conspiracy to commit overseas corruption on March 11.
The judge rejected this motion, stating that the defense did not object when the sentencing hearing date was originally set. If the Department of Justice does decide to conduct a second trial on additional charges, the sentencing may be postponed.
