A new trial of Bankman-Fried was scheduled to begin on March 11, 2024, at the same court with five counts cited, including [[bank fraud]] and the [[bribery]] of Chinese officials, after the prosecution's request to have some of their charges tried separately was granted in June 2023 by a U.S. judge.<ref name="sigalos guilty"/>
