Sam Bankman-Fried, co-founder and ex-CEO of FTX, is reportedly faring well in the Metropolitan Detention Center where he is currently housed. He shares a dormitory with Juan Orlando Hernández, a former Honduran president awaiting trial for accepting bribes from drug traffickers, and Genaro García Luna, a former head of police in Mexico convicted of helping cartels smuggle cocaine into the U.S. Bankman-Fried’s difficulties in accessing vegetarian meals and ADHD medication have been resolved. He is allowed to see non-attorney visitors once a week and has access to a special laptop for reviewing legal documents. Bankman-Fried is involved in the prison economy, trading mackerel packets with other inmates in exchange for services. He has also provided cryptocurrency investment advice to guards. After his sentencing, Bankman-Fried will be transferred to a federal prison where he is expected to have greater freedom of movement and better resources. His sentencing is set for March 28, 2024, and he faces a maximum sentence of 115 years, although experts believe he will likely be imprisoned for 25 years or less.
