Sam Bankman-Fried says rice is ‘one of the currencies of the realm’ behind bars

Sam Bankman-Fried has swapped crypto for a new kind of currency behind bars: bags of rice.

The disgraced FTX founder has been jailed at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center as he waits to be transferred to a federal prison to serve a 25-year sentence.

Bankman-Fried was convicted for wire fraud, money laundering and conspiracy last year.
