>The government requested that Bankman-Fried be remanded to a jail in Putnam, New York, where he’d have access to a laptop with internet access for defense preparation, as opposed to sending him to Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, the facility closest to the courthouse that has limited internet access for prisoners.
It's a lucky thing that the other low-profile prisoners in the Metropolitan Detention Center have no need to prepare their defenses.

There is some strange irony in being detained for alleged wire fraud and then demanding access to the internet.
