Former FTX cryptocurrency exchange founder, Sam Bankman-Fried, who faced legal trouble for costing investors billions, recently shared insights about his time in prison alongside music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs.

During an interview with Tucker Carlson, Bankman-Fried discussed his interactions with Diddy at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, where Diddy is being held on federal charges. Despite the circumstances, Bankman-Fried mentioned that Diddy has shown kindness in their limited interactions and towards others in the unit.

Describing the prison environment as a mix of high-profile inmates and former gang members, Bankman-Fried highlighted the unique dynamics within the facility. He also mentioned that some fellow inmates, including ex-robbers who excel at chess despite language barriers, view the presence of well-known figures like himself and Diddy as a unique opportunity.

Reflecting on the challenging realities of their situation, Bankman-Fried acknowledged the difficult circumstances they both face, emphasizing the soul-crushing nature of prison life. Following his conviction on fraud and conspiracy charges related to FTX's collapse, Bankman-Fried has experienced a significant downfall from his previous status as a prominent figure in the crypto world.

The surprising revelations and candid insights shared by Bankman-Fried during the interview offer a glimpse into the human aspect of life behind bars for these two notable personalities.
