In a Tucker Carlson interview, Sam Bankman-Fried says he was becoming closer to the GOP in the lead-up to his arrest and that played a role in his sentencing
where Luigi Mangione is also being held Bluesky: Dotto / @idott : I can haz pardon? Bernie Michalik / @berniemichalik.ca : I think I'm going to have to start a website called: isSBFstillLockddUp.fyi [embedded post] @swinginghammer : I remember when people would fuck up their lives then become Christian to prep their redemption arc. Now it's, I fucked up and it's Bidens fault. [embedded post] Karissa Bell / @karissabe : I guess if I was in his situation I would also be desperate for a pardon [embedded post] Mastodon: Mike Elgan / @MikeElgan@mastodon.social : HEADLINE: “Sam Bankman-Fried hints at becoming a Republican” — ALT HEADLINE: “Criminal to join the pro-crime party” https://www.axios.com/... X: Tucker Carlson / @tuckercarlson : Sam Bankman-Fried is doing 25 years behind bars, and is now sharing a cell block with Diddy. He joins us from prison for an update on his new life. (0:00) What Has Prison Been Like? (2:28) Was SBF Ever on Adderall? (4:42) SBF Meeting Diddy in Prison (7:01) How Prison Has Changed [video] Nick Tomaino / @ntmoney : FTX was the most successful anti-crypto psyop to date. Reminders are useful. Same thing will happen again and again if we don't learn from the past. [image] Teddy Schleifer / @teddyschleifer : how it started, how it's going [image] @unusual_whales : BREAKING: SBF of FTX has said he is not a criminal. Tucker: “Do you think you were the biggest criminal in the crypto business?” SBF: “I don't think I was a criminal. So, certainly, the answer to that is no.” [video] @beast_ico : Pretty obvious that they're running the “get a pardon” playbook for SBF. First comes out of nowhere tweeting about government jobs, then shows up on Tucker Carlson from prison...next probably see/hear something about his parents buddying up with one of the blockchain lobbyists Dip Wheeler / @dipwheeler : BREAKING: SBF & Diddy are friends. [video] FischerKing / @fischerking64 : This is a strangely interesting interview with some moments of dark comedy. Tucker asks ‘what is prison like.’ SBF: 'it's dystopian...' Tucker also plugs crypto as an asset to be included in retirement planning at the half point advertisement - without any sense of irony. @pancakesbrah : SBF and Diddy are prison friends what movie is this bro @jebus : My interest in the SBF interview is like a memecoin chart Initially I was like “oh damn, listening to that” and within an hour I was like “nah” @jebus : I was wondering how today was gonna top yesterday Up only Mert / @0xmert_ : PLEASE BRO JUST ONE FUCKING NORMAL DAY BRO PLEASE JUST ONE John Coogan / @johncoogan : Apparently you can tweet and go on podcasts from prison now. Entirely possible for a VC to go on a generational run while in the clink. @pledditor : In the last few seconds of the interview, Tucker admits he asked softball questions 🤡🤡 [video] Ian Miles Cheong / @stillgray : I feel kind of bad for SBF because he's like a pretty normal guy who fucked up bad and hurt a ton of people by getting way over his head. He isn't overstimulated in the interview, which makes it much more interesting to listen to than any of the interviews he did during the @scottmelker : SBF has been in prison for two years and still has zero remorse - in fact, he thinks that this all just kind of happened to him and that he is innocent. Enjoy the muffins. Mike Benz / @mikebenzcyber : what a funny little world we live in @cobie : @TuckerCarlson Yeah I'm not watching this fuck you sam @polymarket : @TuckerCarlson Only 3% chance Trump pardons him... Should he? https://polymarket.com/... Benny Johnson / @bennyjohnson : This is insane lmao @gainzy222 : u reckon sbf wakes up everyday and replays in his mind how he could have played things differently when he was living the good life in the bahamas worth billions John E Deaton / @johnedeaton1 : Good interview by Tucker but let's be clear about something: @SBF_FTX is a straight up sociopath. First, he says “When the crisis hit.” Look asshole, there wasn't a supernatural, Act of God crisis that occurred. You STOLE customer money. Period. You stole the life savings of hard @sbf_ftx : Thanks for having me on, @TuckerCarlson Forums: r/BrianThompsonMurder : SBF interview about his time at MDC with Tucker!
