Sam Bankman-Fried's criminal trial is beginning this week with jury selection on Tuesday morning. SBF, the 31-year-old man behind bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX, is facing seven criminal charges with maximum sentences adding up to 110 years.

"Your client in the event of conviction could be looking at a very long sentence," US District Judge Lewis Kaplan told SBF's lawyers in a hearing on Thursday while rejecting the defense's request for a temporary release from jail. "If things begin to look bleak... maybe the time would come when he would seek to flee," Kaplan said, according to a Reuters article.
