Court sketch of Sam Bankman-Fried on the first day of his trial
  • Sam Bankman-Fried's defense attorneys say he doesn't have enough Adderall.
  • Before the trial began, they had written to the judge asking for "uninterrupted access" to the drug.
  • They argued Monday that SBF still isn't getting enough medicine, asking the court to take a half day.

Prosecutors in Sam Bankman-Fried's trial raise concerns about the former cryptocurrency mogul's repeated requests for more Adderall during his criminal trial, claiming in court Monday that his doctor "has engaged in some suspect practices."

"Witnesses have informed the government that he was liberally prescribing Adderall to people who told us that they did not need Adderall at all or at that level," Danielle Sassoon, a prosecutor in the trial, told US District Judge Lewis Kaplan on Monday.
