Federal prosecutors in the ongoing fraud trial of ex-FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried have requested that the judge exclude any discussion of his investment in Anthropic. This request comes in light of recent media reports about Anthropic’s fundraises from tech giants Google and Amazon. Recent reports have indicated that Anthropic is set to receive billions in funding from Google shortly after announcing a similar investment from Amazon. The news has ignited optimism among creditors of FTX, as Sam Bank man-fried was a notable investor in the company. However, while creditors celebrate this development, it has raised concerns in the courtroom.
