"FTX cryptocurrency exchange founder Sam Bankman-Fried is "subsisting on bread and water" because the federal jail where he is being held ahead of his fraud trial has not provided him with a vegan diet as he requested, his lawyer said on Tuesday."
LOL

Vegans wanted to be more insufferable, so they decided to start expecting the world to always give them their favorite foods in all situations.

He's Madoff with better PR. He'll still spend decades in federal prison.

NYT: "The jury of nine men and three women began deliberating at 3:15 p.m. and was out for a little over four hours including dinner."

He won't subsist on it long. Do you know what happens to a prisoner fed a diet of nothing but bread and water?

Sam Bankman-Fried was sentenced Thursday to 25 years in prison for his role in defrauding users of the collapsed cryptocurrency exchange FTX.
In a federal courtroom in lower Manhattan, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan called the defense argument misleading, logically flawed and speculative.
He said Bankman-Fried had obstructed justice and tampered with witnesses in mounting his defense — something Kaplan said he weighed in his sentencing decision.
Bankman-Fried, wearing a beige jailhouse jumpsuit, struck an apologetic tone, saying he had made a series of "selfish" decisions while leading FTX and "threw it all away."
"It haunts me every day," he said in his statement.
Prosecutors had sought as much as 50 years, while Bankman-Fried's legal team argued for no more than 6½ years. He was convicted on seven criminal counts in November and had been held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn since.
In a statement following Thursday's sentencing, Damian Williams, United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, said Bankman-Fried had orchestrated one of the largest frauds in financial history.

The ironic thing is that bankruptcy recovery looks like it will be 100%. Debt is trading at time value of money - betting when they’ll get it not if.

This fact that they'll recover all the money, and SBF didn't lose it all after all, is not fitting easily into the public narrative.
