The co-founder of failed cryptocurrency exchange FTX pleaded not guilty to a seven count indictment charging him with wire fraud, securities fraud and money laundering.

An attorney for FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried said in federal court Tuesday his client has to subsist on bread, water and peanut butter because the jail he’s in isn’t accommodating his vegan diet.

    Our society locks up more than just dangerous criminals. And if you’re arguing against it there’s probably millions of people more deserving of more lenient charges than this guy.

      no doubt. but this is the guy we’re talking about right now so i thought it was worth pointing out that jail is bad and we need to rethink that whole thing.
