Sam Bankman-Fried Transferred to Oklahoma Prison After Solitary Confinement

The convicted FTX founder was moved from Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center following an unauthorized interview with Tucker Carlson.

  • Sam Bankman-Fried, serving a 25-year sentence for orchestrating a multi-billion-dollar fraud, has been relocated to the Federal Transfer Center in Oklahoma City.
  • The transfer follows his placement in solitary confinement after conducting an unauthorized jailhouse interview with Tucker Carlson earlier this month.
  • In the interview, Bankman-Fried discussed his prison life, including interactions with fellow inmate Sean 'Diddy' Combs, describing him as 'kind.'
  • Prison officials reportedly removed Bankman-Fried from his cell at 3 a.m. without prior notice, and his final destination remains undisclosed.
  • His representatives had previously speculated he might be moved to Mendota, California, near his hometown, though this has not been confirmed.
