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 cofounder of defunct crypto exchange FTX was put in solitary confinement after the interview was posted.

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.

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.
