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.

    are you arguing that he shouldn’t be sent to prison if he is found guilty? or that having him in jail until trial is a mistake?

    the first one: yes, if he is found guilty, he definitely should be sent to prison. he is accused of committing fraud for billions of dollars.

    for the second: yes. his bail was revoked because there was reasonable cause to believe he was attempting to tamper with witnesses
