U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan has ruled to make the names of the two people who co-signed Sam Bankman-Fried’s bail bond public, according to reports by CoinDesk.

The New York judge ruled in favor of a slew of media companies who petitioned for the names of the two people to be publicized, citing public interest in the matter.

Bankman-Fried’s lawyers argued to keep the names private on grounds that doing so could expose them to physical threats.

The ruling awaits a possible appeal until Feb. 7.
