FTX's Sam Bankman-Fried Heads Back East in Prison

Federal prison officials have moved Sam Bankman-Fried to a facility in Pennsylvania, a sign that the FTX founder could be on his way back to the jail in New York that he left last week.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons website showed Wednesday that Bankman-Fried was at the federal correctional institution in Lewisburg, Pa.

Earlier this week, the website showed him at a transit facility in Oklahoma that often houses federal inmates being moved across the country.

Bankman-Fried’s move back east could be a sign that prison officials are returning him to New York after a federal judge recommended that he be allowed to stay at the Metropolitan Detention Facility in Brooklyn to be closer to the lawyers preparing his appeal.
