The price of talking too much, you now. So, let me tell you something. Sam Bankman-Fried, the former king of FTX, just learned a hard lesson about keeping his mouth shut.
After giving an interview to Tucker Carlson without getting the green light from the prison authorities, SBF found himself in solitary confinement.
Rise and fall
The guy who once ran a crypto empire now can’t even run his own mouth without getting locked down.
The US Bureau of Prisons has rules, and you don’t mess with them. They decide who talks to who and how.
But SBF, he just couldn’t resist the spotlight. He sat down with Carlson, talked about life in prison, and shared his thoughts on crypto regulation.
Oh, and he made sure to mention he doesn’t think he’s a criminal. Nice try, Sam. We have a few billion reasons to think that maybe this isn’t fully accurate.
Pardon?
Now, this interview has sparked all sorts of speculation. People are talking about a possible pardon from Donald Trump.
The odds of that happening have nearly doubled since the interview aired, according to Polymarket.
But let’s not forget, Trump just pardoned Ross Ulbricht, the Silk Road guy, after 12 years in prison. So, you never know what might happen.
Victim of the circumstances?
Meanwhile, SBF’s lawyers are still fighting his 25-year sentence. They claim he was never given a fair shake, that everyone was against him from the start.
But for now, he’s stuck in solitary, a reminder that sometimes it’s better to keep quiet.
So, what’s the takeaway here? If you’re in prison, maybe think twice before giving interviews without permission.
And if you’re SBF, well, maybe just keep your head down and hope for the best. After all, in the world of crime and punishment, sometimes silence is golden.
