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.

    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.
