Sam Bankman-Fried living on bread and water because jail won't abide vegan diet, lawyer says - eviltoast

The co-founder of failed cryptocurrency exchange FTX pleaded not guilty to a seven count indictment charging him with wire fraud, securities fraud and money laundering.

An attorney for FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried said in federal court Tuesday his client has to subsist on bread, water and peanut butter because the jail he’s in isn’t accommodating his vegan diet.

    It’s weird though. It’s literally just the guy you were talking to, and another who’s account is only a couple hours old and solely has comments on this post.

    Seems a little suspicious is all.

      fediverse is still new, and this was on Hot. How is it surprising that someone wants to comment on an actually active topic?

        It’s weird that every single comment he made would have exactly 3 upvotes only an hour after posting on a 2 day old thread, deep within a comment chain of nearly 20 back and forths.

        But maybe not, honestly it’s possible you’re right. It was just pretty suspicious.
