El fundador de FTX está intercambiando pescado por cortes de pelo en prisión: WSJ
- El fundador de FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried, intercambió algunas bolsas de caballa con un recluso a cambio de un corte de pelo.
- He is sharing his dormitory with the former Honduran president, Juan Orlando Hernández.
- Recently convicted former top cop of Mexico, Genaro García Luna, is also Bankman-Fried’s cellmate.
- SBF puede recibir visitas una vez por semana y tiene acceso a una computadora portátil especializada para revisar material legal.
Sam Bankman-Fried, also known as SBF in the digital asset sector, has reportedly been trading fish to get his hair done in prison. As per sources with knowledge of the matter, the former billionaire and disgraced crypto entrepreneur has found a new currency behind bars: mackerel. The FTX founder is currently waiting for his sentencing in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center.
según un reporte from The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), the former FTX chief executive learned the fundamentals of prison economics while sharing his cell with the former Honduran president, Juan Orlando Hernández. Hernández was extradited to the United States on drug charges just weeks after he left office. Additionally, SBF also shares his dormitory with a recently convicted former top cop in Mexico, Genaro García Luna.
El informe del WSJ afirma que la caballa ha reemplazado a los cigarrillos como moneda favorita en las cárceles federales, ya que los funcionarios han prohibido el uso de cigarrillos dentro de las instalaciones penitenciarias. Curiosamente, se informa que los reclusos del centro de detención a veces usan bolsas de pescado en conserva comprado en una comisaría para pagar los servicios de unos a otros.
The FTX founder traded some pouches of mackerels, termed macks, in the prison to get his signature mop top haircut from one of the inmates. Interestingly, the disgraced entrepreneur’s sentencing date has been set for March 2024, and he was found guilty on all seven counts that he was accused of by the jury. Meanwhile, the lawyer’s claim that SBF is innocent of all charges.
Como informó anteriormente Bitnation, el ex director ejecutivo de FTX volvió a solicitar una fianza, que fue rechazada por la Corte de Apelaciones del Segundo Circuito de Estados Unidos, which stated that Bankman-Fried’s arguments were “unpersuasive.” The court also added that SBF tampering with two witnesses on pretrial release was a major reason for denying the appeal.
“Sam’s doing the best he can under the circumstances,” Bankman-Fried’s spokesman, Mark Botnick, said.
Es crucial tener en cuenta que el fundador de FTX puede recibir visitas una vez a la semana y tiene acceso a una computadora portátil especializada que le permite revisar material legal. Sin embargo, el portátil debe funcionar en una habitación con escritorios separados por divisores de plástico, dijeron personas que hablaron con el WSJ.
