What would this achieve? I think SBF has done a load of financial crime, but I don’t think we are at risk of him spinning up a new token and making millions. Internet is required for a lot of normal shit, making it illegal is a really cruel punitive thing

Why not? He has stated that he intends to earn the money again to pay back the creditors.

I don’t know about cruel, he’s just preparing for a significant legal defense. Communications, researching, etc using the internet is an important part of defending himself in court which he deserves a fair shot at. The purpose of the bail is to enable him to better participate in the upcoming legal proceedings.
