Sam Bankman-Fried will prepare for his fraud trial from a Brooklyn jail where inmates ranging from convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell to Honduras' former president have complained of subpar conditions.
SBF would still be on relatively lenient house arrest at his parent’s lovely Palo Alto home but he violated pretrial rules so many times (using forbidden encrypted communication channels, constantly giving interviews, manipulating witnesses) that he absolutely deserves being sent to jail. It’s an open question whether he’s been such a jackass out of some weird compulsion or as a desperate legal strategy. I guess we’ll find out at his trial.
