Bankman-Fried is charged with seven counts of fraud and money laundering in the Southern District of New York court house. > At court in the Southern District of New York, Bankman-Fried wore an oversized gray suit and a purple tie. He arrived at the courthouse around 9:30 a.m., with his hands folded in front of him, nodding at those who he made eye contact with.
