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.

    There was nothing to disagree with. I didn’t say I don’t think they shouldn’t supply vegan. I just know what the US prison system is like and wouldn’t expect them to. It’s fucking criminal gladiator college. There are some prisons that barely feed the inmates and make them need money for commissary food to not be hungry constantly.

    I’m sure where SBF is being kept is a white collar low security place where they treat them better. They’re still treated like caged dogs though.
