In a recent video call from Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center, Sam Bankman-Fried discussed his experiences in prison, highlighting his unlikely friendship with Sean 'Diddy' Combs. He described the prison as a 'soul-crushing place' but noted Diddy's kindness towards inmates. Both men are housed in a Special Housing Unit due to their high-profile cases, alongside other high-profile inmates. Bankman-Fried also reflected on unexpected interactions with less-known inmates, many of whom surprise him with their chess skills, revealing a unique perspective on prison camaraderie.
"I've only seen one piece of him, which is Diddy in prison. You know, he's been kind to people in the unit... It's a position no one wants to be in."
"Some of them I think are thinking, 'Wow this is sort of a big opportunity to meet people they wouldn't otherwise get to meet ... boy is that not how I think about prison."
