Sam Bankman-Fried describes his relationship with Sean 'Diddy' Combs in jail
Sam Bankman-Fried, the convicted crypto fraudster who is serving 25 years in prison, is breaking his silence about his life behind bars in a new interview with Tucker Carlson.
One major point of interest about Bankman-Fried has been about whether he has befriended disgraced rapper Sean 맥스카지노Diddy맥스카지노 Combs, who is serving time in the same Brooklyn detention center on racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges. Combs has pleaded not guilty.
Bankman-Fried told Carlson that Combs is 맥스카지노kind to people in the unit,맥스카지노 adding that he맥스카지노s 맥스카지노been kind to me.맥스카지노
맥스카지노It맥스카지노s kind of a soul crushing place for the world in general, and what we see are just the people that are around us on the inside rather than who we are on the outside,맥스카지노 Bankman-Fried told Carlson in the roughly 40-minute interview .
Carlson said that he and Combs are 맥스카지노two of the most famous prisoners in the world,맥스카지노 but Bankman-Fried won맥스카지노t tell the rapper that it was his 33rd birthday this week. 맥스카지노Someone else might, but I맥스카지노m not,맥스카지노 he said.
Living with a celebrity is one of the more interesting aspects of Bankman-Fried맥스카지노s life, he said. That changed last year after he was found guilty for defrauding customers and investors in his failed crypto exchange FTX. His sentence of 25 years was about half of what prosecutors had asked for, but still put him at the high end for sentence length in prominent white-collar fraud cases.
Bankman-Fried said he맥스카지노s made some friends, but said prison was a 맥스카지노weird environment맥스카지노 because it맥스카지노s a 맥스카지노combination of a few other high profile cases and then a lot of 맥스카지노 ex-gangsters, alleged ex-gangsters.맥스카지노 Many of them are 맥스카지노surprisingly good at chess,맥스카지노 he learned.
Carlson followed up that it맥스카지노s 맥스카지노sort of weird맥스카지노 to ask Bankman-Fried if crypto regulation is moving in a 맥스카지노good direction,맥스카지노 but said he 맥스카지노couldn맥스카지노t resist.맥스카지노
His response? 맥스카지노Hopefully 맥스카지노 Changing the guard helps. But financial regulators 맥스카지노 they맥스카지노re big, giant bureaucracies in the federal government 맥스카지노 they맥스카지노re not used to changing overnight. They have been playing a big, obstructive role for a decade in crypto.맥스카지노
As for Bankman-Fried맥스카지노s wealth, once worth around $15 billion, has all but diminished. In addition to the prison sentence, he also ordered a forfeiture of $11 billion.
맥스카지노The company that I used to own 맥스카지노 had nothing intervened, today it would have about $15 billion of liabilities and about $93 billion of assets,맥스카지노 he said. 맥스카지노The answer should be, in theory, yes, there was enough money to pay everyone back in kind. But that맥스카지노s not how things worked out. Instead, it all got roiled up in a bankruptcy.맥스카지노
