FTX co-founder and former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried isn’t killing time with Sean “Diddy” Combs in New York anymore. Following a behind-bars appearance on the “The Tucker Carlson Show” earlier this month, the one-time crypto wunderkind has been shipped to Oklahoma. Bankman-Fried is currently being held at FTC Oklahoma City, a transfer center with around 1,450 inmates, according to the U.S. Federal Bureau of Prisons.
Days ago, he was at Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, where the former hip-hop mogul awaits trial. It is likely the penultimate stop for SBF before he lands in a prison where he will serve the rest of his 25-year sentence for defrauding users of the exchange he co-founded. Instead of taking a long bus ride, often described by inmates as “diesel therapy,” Bankman-Fried likely hitched a ride via “Con Air,” according to Sam Mangel, a white-collar prison consultant.
