SBF Lands in Solitary After Secret Interview With Tucker Carlson
Sam Bankman-Fried, the former FTX CEO at the center of one of the biggest financial scandals in crypto history, just made headlines again. This time from behind bars.
In a bizarre twist, SBF allegedly conducted a jailhouse interview with Tucker Carlson using a video call system that was supposed to be reserved exclusively for communication with his legal team. In the interview, he slammed the U.S. government, claimed he was innocent, and even called for a pardon from Donald Trump.
The problem? The Bureau of Prisons didn’t approve the interview, and they didn’t take it lightly.
Soon after, SBF was thrown into solitary confinement. His crisis PR representative quit. And to top it all off, he was transferred to a high-security federal facility in Oklahoma, known to be far less cushy than where he was originally serving time.
This wasn’t some elaborate play to dodge cellmates like P Diddy. It looks more like a reckless move to control the narrative, and it backfired badly.
