ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, U.S. Federal Judge Lewis Kaplan has ordered that several witnesses proposed by SBF be prohibited from testifying in next month's trial, including British lawyer Lawrence Akka, president of consulting firm Tom Bishop & Associates LLC Thomas Bishop, head of consulting firm Maxwell Consulting Joseph Pimbley, director of consulting firm Guidepost Solutions Brian Kim, law professor at Capital University Law School Bradley Smith, managing director of consulting firm PVA Toucan International Peter Vinella, and assistant professor at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business Andrew Di Wu. The prosecution had previously requested the judge to bar these 7 witnesses from testifying, partly because they do not meet the standards for expert testimony.

Additionally, despite objections from SBF's lawyers, government expert Peter Easton will be able to testify and discuss the client's fiat currency deposits.
