Bankman-Fried and Cooled
March 20, 2025
We are not surprised a certain tech bro still has not learned to play by the rules, even in prison. Mediaite reports, "Unauthorized Tucker Carlson Interview Lands Sam Bankman-Fried in Solitary Confinement." Reporter Kipp Jones tells us:
"FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried was reportedly placed in solitary confinement on Thursday following a video interview with Tucker Carlson that was not approved by corrections officials. The 33-year-old crypto billionaire-turned-inmate spoke to Carlson about a wide range of topics for an interview posted on X. Bankman-Fried and the former Fox News host discussed everything from prescription drug abuse to political contributions. According to The New York Times, prison officials became aware of the interview and put the crypto fraudster in the hole."
What riveting insights were worth that risk? Apparently he has made friends with Diddy, and he passes the time playing chess. That’s nice. He also holds no animosity toward prison staff, he said, though of course "no one wants to be in prison." Perhaps during his stint in solitary, Bankman-Fried will reflect on how he can stay out when he is released in 11 – 24 years.
