Fried’s wide-ranging interview with Tucker Carlson has landed him in hot water with prison officials and some time in solitary confinement. A report in the New York Times says the co-founder of defunct crypto exchange FTX was put in solitary confinement after the interview was posted.

Sam Bankman-Fried jumped on a videoconference call for an interview with Tucker Carlson from a New York state prison, where the disgraced cryptocurrency mogul is serving a 25-year sentence and says he's made some friends - including cellblock mate Sean "Diddy" Combs.

The new report from the New York Times seems to confirm what anyone with a little bit of common sense assumed when Carlson’s interview dropped: SBF, who’s currently serving a 25-year sentence for fraud after his crypto company FTX collapsed in 2022, is angling for a pardon from President Trump.
