Sam Bankman-Fried, co-founder of FTX, has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for fraud, but he still insists he is innocent. Since being locked up in the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in August 2023, Sam Bankman-Fried has been interviewed on May 9th, with SBF's mother Barbara Fried involved in organizing the interview. SBF joked that the arbitrage opportunities in prison are much better than his previous life as a high-frequency trader.
