This is the best summary I could come up with:
Sam Bankman-Fried's lawyers say the embattled FTX founder needs more Adderall so he can concentrate during his ongoing criminal trial.
Bankman-Fried was diagnosed with ADHD and depression years ago, according to a story published by The New Yorker last month.
The lawyers wrote that Bankman-Fried had only been given a dose of Adderall in the early mornings before he arrived at court for his criminal trial.
Bankman-Fried's legal team proposed in the letter that their client be given an extended-release dose of Adderall before he is taken to court on Monday.
Prosecutors accuse Bankman-Fried of defrauding customers and investors of his now-bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange, FTX, by siphoning their funds to his trading firm, Alameda Research.
Bankman-Fried faces seven criminal charges ranging from securities fraud to money laundering.
