However,\u2064 his attorneys have raised concerns about his ability \u200bto focus and prepare\u200b for the trial\u2064 due to various issues.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Your Honor, that\u2019s outrageous and needs to be remedied,&#8221; Attorney\u200c Mark Cohen exclaimed during \u2064a Manhattan federal\u2063 court hearing.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>One of the \u200cmajor concerns raised by Bankman-Fried&#8217;s \u200blegal team is the lack \u2063of medication for his ADHD at the Metropolitan Detention Center. They claim that without proper medication, he is unable to focus on the trial. \u200dAdditionally, they highlighted the inadequate diet he has been receiving, consisting mainly \u200bof \u200dwater, bread, and\u200b occasionally \u200dpeanut \u200cbutter.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019m\u200c reasonably confident they \u200bprovide vegetarian options,&#8221; Magistrate Judge \u2063Sarah Netburn assured. &#8220;A vegan diet may not be available, but I assume\u2064 a vegetarian\u2064 is.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Bankman-Fried&#8217;s attorneys also expressed their frustration with the limited time he has been given to review millions of \u2064pages of evidence.
