Disgraced FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried looks a lot scruffier in prison, according to a photo obtained by crypto influencer Tiffany Fong.

Fong said she got the photo from a man called G Lock, a former gang member who was in prison with Bankman-Fried.

"According to G Lock, these photos were taken on December 17, 2023, because apparently inmates are only allowed to take photos on Christmas and Father's Day," Fong said in a video post on X on Monday.

A crypto influencer has posted what she says is the first photo of Sam Bankman-Fried hanging out with his fellow inmates

Content creator Tiffany Fong says she obtained the photo of Bankman-Fried from an inmate she called "G Lock."

I suppose that, in the end, there's no such thing as "easy money".

Sooner or later, you're either going to get caught and do jail time, or, loose everything in the blink if an eye.

The only reason he's in prison is because he also stole from rich fucks, if he only stole the pensions and savings of poor people like the Wall Street scum did he'd be fine

 

[Jinzo Prime]

Yeah I saw this on the front page of reddit, I'm trying to figure out why I should be seeing this.

He's serving his time and not getting out anytime soon, I'm not going to point and laugh like a child.

Im certain this is the name of some character in a PS2 game, but i cannot remember which one...

lmao what

that literally could not be less true

 

[Little Mac]

Haha I grew up on a little HBO show called “Oz” and I can easily say that, judging from the picture, this dude is so fucked.

 

[SJRB]

Incredible body language.

Spergs rise uuuupppp!

This. Fuck around with the poor all you want, but don’t touch rich people money.

Damn, white collar prisons got hit with D.E.I. also.

It's incredible to think of the enormity of the contrast from going from a Bahamas polyamorous penthouse to standing there, with the knowledge that you might spend your next decades within those walls, with those cargo shorts and sneakers.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Don't care for him, but he was a fall guy while they brushed underneath the carpet the actual big political players involved.

 

[ahtlas7]

He’s really fitting in I see.

 

[chromhound]

He look like he's someone's bitch

 

[newtypepilot]

meanwhile his parents are getting off scott free.

That guy is gonna get bummed, ferociously.

 

[NecrosaroIII]

He'll get out of jail and then be rich off of speaking engagements and money he hid away.

 

[gaming_again]

I wonder if the other inmates finally believe he's not a chomo, as was the case when he first turned up.

 

[FullMetalx117]

He's in jail...but he did manage to make Tom Brady, Steph Curry, Matt Damon, bunch of other celebs and their "sophisticated" agents look like con artists/bufoons to the national audience (that certainly bought in at the time as well). When you have those type of people involved, doing super bowl commercials advertising your exchange, it makes SBF look like a genius/greatest con artist of all time. It also makes me wonder what can top the last crypto bubble.

That's the face of someone who still has the private key for a billion or so in a private crypto wallet hidden away somewhere.

Looks like people are plumbing the depths of his ass to find it.

Maybe he should run for President.

Maybe thinking of OG Loc in San Andreas? He also just got out of prison in that game.

Why do I even remember this useless information

 

[Robot Carnival]

current bitcoin exchange rate is 1:52272. what's SBF's exchange rate in there? 2 packs of cig? 3 packs?

 

[Days like these...]

The guys he's standing between don't look very nice.

 

[Porcile]

This guy will be free in 5 to 10 years no doubt about it.

 

[AJUMP23]

Why does the guy next to him not get his face covered.

 

[Uhtred]

Damn, white collar prisons got hit with D.E.I. also.

The hilarity of the post cannot be overstated.

 

[chromhound]

Why does the guy next to him not get his face covered.

Something to do with him being in an interview

That's G-lock holmes

 

[demigod]

Well now we know who is G Lock’s bitch.

 

[EviLore]

Need a green line test for SBF and G Lock

This was interesting time for "small people" like me:

I bought RTX 3070 for 3000PLN - played games and mined on it for few months, got around ~5000PLN selling ETH, then just before crypto crash sold GPU for 6000PLN.

I doubt anything like that will happen again, best GPU I have ever owned LOL.

All hair cutters in the world should bless the stars the world isnt full of Sam Bankmans. If it was, theyd all go bankrupt. Never seen a business guy consistently look like a slob.

Tony Blair sending SBF the stink eye.

I dont think the typical celeb cares about details, accuracy or ethics. Especially with something like crypto which is a techie wild west kind of product. As long as the payout is big and they do as few words in the TV ad they are happy.

Look how many pro atheletes promote sports gambling sites knowing full well most people will lose money and kids are watching the telecast.
