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.

    SBF is in prison and has been relieved of his freedom.

    The penal system must offer him a diet that satisfies his daily nutritional requirements because he is not free to do so on his own.

    The state is not required to support his “ethical beliefs.”

      I’d personally consider it pretty cruel and inhumans to force someone to violate their own ethics on a daily basis.

          Yes, I have, he’s a horrible person, but treating him poorly will not undoe what he’s done. And this goes far beyond this one person. The entire us “”“justice”“” system is based around this.

            Well then, by that logic, nothing bad should ever happen to anyone regardless of what they do, meaning they’re now free to harm others as they wish.
