Golden Finance reported that FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried was sentenced to 25 years in prison for fraud, but he still insisted that he was innocent. Since being imprisoned in the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in August 2023, Sam Bankman-Fried was interviewed on May 9, and SBF's mother Barbara Fried participated in the organization of the interview. SBF joked that the arbitrage opportunities in prison were much better than his previous life as a high-frequency trader.
