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.

    I just don’t believe in punishment. I think that we could find another solution that actually helps people. we might even help him.

      What specifically would stop him from ruining more lives? The man put his ex-girlfriends diary online to stop her from testifying. He’s fucking evil.

        i didn’t know all the details and it certainly sounds like he’s done some shitty things, but putting him in prison doesn’t stop him from ruining more lives.

          Again- what would stop him from doing it all again? You don’t have a better solution.

          Also, “done some shitty things” is a very big understatement. He literally ruined people’s lives. And you think he should be able to get away with that.

          What if he’d published your private information online for everyone to see? Still fine?
