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.
How is this torture? He isn’t starving, and he doesn’t have to eat gross or questionable food. If a vegan diet was a medical requirement, both his lawyers and the media would’ve milked it dry, but they didn’t, which tells me that vegan food is only a preference.
And people who have been on a vegan diet long enough can get really sick if they are made to suddenly switch.
