FTX’s Sam Bankman-Fried Worried About Safety, Learning To Survive Behind Bars – Convicted Billionaire Thought About Paying for Protection, According To Former Inmate at MDC
2023 turned things around – for bad – for former Billionaire FTX CEO, Sam Bankman-Fried.
In January, Bankman-Fried was arrested in the Bahamas. In August remanded to jail by Judge Lewis Kaplan for witness tampering. In November, he was found guilty of all 7 counts of fraud and conspiracy.
But his story hasn’t ended: as he awaits sentencing in March – and of course, the appeal from his lawyers, SBF is learning to survive in prison – which can be tricky.
It now arises that he was ‘reportedly worried for his safety’ during his pretrial detention time at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC), and even considered paying another inmate for ‘protection’.
The revelations come from former New York mob ‘enforcer’ Gene Borrello.
