<p>Recent buzz on Crypto Twitter has ignited speculation over how Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), the founder of <a href="https://crypto.news/sam-bankman-fried-to-face-trial-only-on-8-initial-charges/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/sam-bankman-fried-to-face-trial-only-on-8-initial-charges/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">FTX</a>, would handle potential incarceration.</p> 
<p>Adam Cochran took to his account with a view. Cochran, known for his deep analytical dives into the crypto world and active participation in the Ethereum(<a href="https://crypto.news/price/ethereum/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/price/ethereum/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ETH</a>) community, opines that being in the Metropolitan Detention Center will “break him.”</p>

<p>These tweets, coming from a make-believe scenario, show just how different everyone’s take is in the crypto world. It’s like watching a lively debate at a dinner table, with the conversation changing as fast as the dessert courses.</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="sam-bankman-fried-sent-to-jail">Sam Bankman-Fried sent to jail</h2> 
<p>After SBF’s arrest in 2022, his lawyer requested bail. However, the request was denied by Chief Magistrate JoyAnn Ferguson-Pratt, who stated that the court needed to determine if it had the jurisdiction to offer him bail.</p> 
<p>Despite the initial denial of bail, Bankman-Fried was eventually released on bail after making his first court appearance. The jury approved his $250 million bond, which involved signatures from his parents, Joseph Bankman and Barbara Fried, and two other individuals whose identities have been kept confidential.</p> 
<p>Bankman-Fried’s lawyers have taken action to prevent the court from disclosing the identities of the two individuals who signed his bail alongside his parents. They filed a notice of appeal in response to a petition filed by several media outlets, including The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, and Coindesk, requesting the disclosure of the guarantors’ names. The appeal argues that revealing the identities of the guarantors could expose them to physical threats from the public.</p>

<p>US District Judge Lewis Kaplan, who presides over Bankman-Fried’s case, approved the media outlets’ petitions but allowed the defendant to file an appeal until a certain date. The details of the late petition filed by Bankman-Fried’s lawyers have not been disclosed.</p> 
<p>During an interview conducted while under house arrest, Bankman-Fried discussed his experience in detention, describing it as “maddening.” He acknowledged receiving special treatment compared to other inmates but criticized the physical conditions of the prison as disgusting. While in prison, he was only allowed visits from his Bahamian lawyer.</p>
