Sam Bankman-Fried, serving a 25-year sentence for fraud, spoke about his experiences in prison during a 40-minute interview with Tucker Carlson.
He shares a dormitory-style unit with rapper Sean 'Diddy' Combs, who is awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, describing him as 'kind' to others in the facility.
Bankman-Fried discussed playing chess, reading novels, and using muffins as a form of currency while navigating the 'dystopian' environment of incarceration.
The former FTX CEO reflected on the collapse of his crypto exchange and expressed remorse for the harm caused to investors, while also continuing to work on his legal appeal.
The Bureau of Prisons declined to comment on the interview, which was posted on social media by Carlson and provided a rare glimpse into the lives of two high-profile inmates.
