Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Journalist Tiffany Fong leaked first picture of Sam Bankman-Fried in jail at MDC Brooklyn taken on December 17, 2023.
Former FTX boss Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) may be handed a lighter sentence than otherwise when he faces District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan next month because customers of the bankrupt exchange will probably be made whole thanks to a bounce in crypto markets and the buoyancy of certain investments held by the estate.
Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), the founder of the now-defunct crypto exchange FTX, was convicted of fraud in November 2023. In a recent post on X, journalist Tiffany Fong shared the first picture of SBF in jail at MDC Brooklyn. According to Fong, she got the picture from prison inmates. The photo is from Dec. 17, 2023, a month after SBF’s conviction.
Fong has censored the faces of other inmates, except for SBF and G Lock. According to Fong, she had interviewed G Lock in the past and thus left his face uncensored. Additionally, Fong says G Lock is a former member of the Blood gang.
Bankman-Fried was found guilty of fraud in November 2023, about a year after his crypto trading empire collapsed. During the bankruptcy process, the crypto market has risen sharply – CoinDesk Indices’ CD20 gauge has gained more than 130% – meaning many thousands of hapless creditors are going to receive all the funds they had locked in, albeit at November 2022 prices.Â
