What a strange situation... SBF's mother, Barbara Fried, tried to file documents on behalf of her son in prison, but Judge Lewis Kaplan said a definitive no. Basically, he made it clear that only SBF himself or his lawyers can do that, even if he has limited access to computers inside.

The detail is that Barbara Fried requested an extension because her son is having difficulty accessing word processors while serving his 25-year sentence. But the judge did not allow it. He extended the deadline until March 23 for SBF or his legal team to request the extension directly.

Remember that SBF was convicted in 2023 for the collapse of FTX? Well, now he's trying to get a new trial based on new evidence. But everything has to come from him or his lawyers. No intermediaries. This decision somewhat reinforces the legal limits on third parties interfering in ongoing cases. Not just anyone can tamper with the proceedings, not even the mother.
