The co-founder of failed cryptocurrency exchange FTX pleaded not guilty to a seven count indictment charging him with wire fraud, securities fraud and money laundering.

An attorney for FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried said in federal court Tuesday his client has to subsist on bread, water and peanut butter because the jail he’s in isn’t accommodating his vegan diet.

    PB sandwiches are going to provide 100% of your daily carbs, fat, fiber, and protein. No?

          This would make a huge difference, I agree. Its not exactly a meal. But they literally only need to give the guy potatoes.

            I mean for all we know they are. It’s not like this guy or his lawyers are the most reliable sources here

              I concede, we can’t know for sure. They do still got to get him a b12 supp as well. Could be getting that too.

              Edit: In retrospect, even with potatoes I think he would still be vitamin A, D, & calcium deficient. He’d need some veggies and fortified soy milk to complete the needs. Still, not a big ask.

        He can make up the difference in micros with vegetables offered to him as part of the prison’s vegetarian diet. Fuck this guy.
