According to Coindesk reporters, CZ's hearing began at 9:39 local time in Seattle. It is reported that the courtroom was already crowded with people, with five people at each table (including defense and US Department of Justice personnel), and some other people sitting nearby, which was somewhat different from the atmosphere when SBF was sentenced. It is reported that the CZ team did not ask for house arrest, but only proposed house arrest as an option, and actually asked for probation. The US Department of Justice and the defense introduced themselves afterwards, and the judge first stated that he had reviewed the sentencing submission materials and all filing items.
