 <p>Sam-Bankman Fried isn’t getting his ADHD medicine or any vegan food, his lawyers said today during a court hearing. “He’s literally now subsisting on bread and water and sometimes peanut butter,” Bankman-Fried’s defense attorney Mark Cohen told a Manhattan federal judge.</p>

 <p>The lawyer made the complaints at a hearing where Bankman-Fried pleaded not guilty to charges of misusing billions of customer funds. Prosecutors allege he misused these funds to live lavishly and back dodgy investments at the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="FTX" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/ftx.html">FTX</a>-connected hedge fund Alameda Research.</p> 
 <p>The founder of the bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="FTX" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/ftx.html">FTX</a> was indicted on charges he stole billions of dollars in <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="FTX" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/ftx.html">FTX</a> funds. He was ordered to be placed in jail by a judge earlier this month. Shortly after his jailing, Bankman-Fried and his lawyers put in a request for ADHD medicine and Adderall. However, his lawyers claim that he hasn’t been given those prescriptions in 11 days. </p>

 <p>Bankman Fried is also allegedly being deprived of his constitutional right to mount a defense for his Oct. 2 trial, lawyers add. They say he has been denied access to his records and a laptop. He is only given access to the courthouse twice a week. “As this stands now there is no way for him to prepare his defense or reasonably assist in his defense,” Bankman-Fried’s other lawyer, Christian Everdell, told the judge.</p>
