FTX-grundare handlar med fisk för hårklippningar i fängelse: WSJ
- FTX-grundaren Sam Bankman-Fried bytte några påsar makrill med en intern i utbyte mot en frisyr.
- 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 får ha besökare en gång i veckan och har tillgång till en specialiserad bärbar dator för att granska juridiskt material.
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.
Enligt a Rapportera 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.
WSJ-rapporten säger att makrill har ersatt cigaretter som den gynnade federala fängelsevalutan eftersom tjänstemännen har förbjudit användningen av cigaretter inne i fängelsets lokaler. Intressant nog rapporteras internerna i interneringscentret ibland använda påsar med den konserverade fisken som köpts i en kommissarie för att betala för tjänster från varandra.
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.
Som tidigare rapporterats av Bitnation ansökte den tidigare FTX-VD:n återigen om en borgensförbindelse, vilket var avvisades av den amerikanska appellationsdomstolen för andra kretsen, 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.
Det är avgörande att notera att FTX-grundaren tillåts ha besökare en gång i veckan och har tillgång till en specialiserad bärbar dator som låter honom granska juridiskt material. Dock ska den bärbara datorn användas i ett rum som har skrivbord åtskilda av plastavdelare, sa personer som pratade med WSJ.
