- Bankman Fried said that there were friends and that they were playing chess.
Sam Bankman spoke to life behind bars in a large -scale interview with Tucker Carlson.
Between cryptography and the sharing of his strategies to make friends in prison, Freed Bankman also opened his doors alongside Sean “Diddy” in the Brooklyn metropolitan detention center where the two men are detained.
“He was nice,” said Bankman Fried about Diddy. The rapper was arrested last year and awaits a trial on accusations of sexual traffic.
Bankman Fried was found guilty of seven charges of fraud and conspiracy at the end of 2023 to a criminal trial This dissected the fall of FTX, its late cryptocurrency exchange.
He served a 25 -year prison sentence.
“I made friends,” Bankman Fried told the former presenter of Fox News. “It is a strange environment. It is a kind of combination of a few other high level cases, then many, you know, ex gangsters, presumed ex gangsters.”
The interview with Carlson encouraged Mark Botnick, the media representative of Bankman Fried, to resign. He told Business Insider that he did not know that Carlson was planning to interview Bankman Freed and had no involvement with her.
Interviews with the prisons and prisons are unusual in the United States. The metropolitan detention center, where bank banks are imprisoned while using its criminal conviction, is equipped with video teleconference equipment generally used for prisoners to communicate with their lawyers. A prison representative refused to comment on the interview with Bankman Fried with Carlson, but said that video interviews could be organized with media members.
Here is what Bankman Fried and Carlson have talked about:
Hang out with Sean “Diddy” combs
Carlson released a 40 -minute interview on social media on Thursday. He called Bankman Fried and Combs “two of the most famous prisoners in the world”, asking Bankman Fried what it is to live in such close neighborhoods.
“I only saw one piece of him, who is Diddy in prison. He was nice to the people of unity. He was nice to me. It is a position that nobody wants to be. Obviously, he does not do, I do not do it,” said Bankman Fried. “It is a kind of place of crushing of the soul for the world in general, and what we see are only the people who are around us inside rather than who we are outside.”
Bankman also said that other prisoners had challenged his failure skills.
“They are good for chess. This is one thing I learned,” Carlson told Carlson. “Former armed thieves who do not speak English and who probably have not obtained their intermediate studies diploma – a surprising number is surprisingly good for chess.”
The passage of impregnated time
Freed Bankman was 33 years old Thursday, but minimized the milestone towards Carlson.
“You’re not going to tell Diddy that it’s your birthday tomorrow? I don’t believe you,” joked Tucker during the interview, which was apparently filmed on Wednesday.
“Someone else could, but I’m not,” said Bankman.
Bankman Fried says he expects to be at the end of the forties when he was released from prison – if he is not forgiven first.
When Carlson asked if he thought he was going to arrive so long, the former crypto magnate said he did not know.
Prison economy
In a world without money – even less cryptocurrency – prisoners use muffins as a means of exchange, said Bankman Fried.
Bankman Fried said he forged muffins as part of the “Muffe economy” but does not eat them. He sticks to rice and beans and Ramen noodles, he said.
“The magnitude of everything is so diminished in prison, you see people fighting for a single banana,” said Bankman Fried.
Crypto policy as part of Donald Trump’s presidency
Trump supervised much more friendly cryptographic policies than former president Joe Biden, having already abandoned many cases against cryptographic societies.
Bankman Fried, who was found guilty of defrauding customers and investors of his cryptocurrency exchange, said that less government participation in individual finances is a good thing.
“If you look at what Trump said in power, there are a lot of good things,” said Bankman Fried.
But he said that in order to move things to the right direction, Trump should face financial regulators.
“Changing the assistant custody. But financial regulators-they are large giant bureaucracies in the federal government,” he said.
Have children
Bankman discussed his effective philosophy of altruism with Carlson, explaining that he has prioritized the actions that have done the most good at most.
Carlson asked Bankman where children integrate into his world vision.
“Are children part of your effective philosophy of altruism?” Asked Carlson Fried.
Freed Bankman replied that he had the impression that his FTX employees were his children.
“For five years, I felt like I had 300 children, most of the days: my employees. Obviously, I couldn’t be a father for everyone. But I felt responsible for them.”
Carlson took stock further.
“One of these 300 employees visited you in prison?” Asked Carlson.
Bankman Fried said that none had done it.
“Should probably have real children at some point, don’t you think? Because when things go wrong, they tend to stay,” Carlson told Bankman Fried, who should spend the following two decades in prison.
