"[...] despite not having his prescribed dose of Adderall during trial hours."
So he's not being given his full prescribed amount? WTF. Give it to him.
I don't really care if this guy is trying to use ADHD as an excuse for his crimes or not. I DO NOT want judges and lawyers deciding if I really need my prescribed meds or if maybe I can get by on half. I would call that a human rights violation.
Just give him his damn prescribed meds. Full stop. His ADHD is then off the table as a possible excuse.
I just don't want him to be able to appeal on the grounds that he was denied his meds.
Yeah, it sounds like his legal team is trying to build grounds to appeal and whoever is governing his medication is playing into their hands. Seriously, how much effort does it take to properly treat someone when they already have a prescription written?
There is literally an international shortage of Adderall going on. I doubt this is intentionally targeting Bankman-Fried in particular.
Of some formulations, yes, there is a shortage going on like a year now. Nothing in the article indicates that it is why this dude isn't having his prescription made available to him.
