 <p class="paragraph">While spending his days behind bars, the once-touted ‘King of Crypto’ and founder of the disgraced cryptocurrency trading platform FTX, found guilty on seven counts of fraud and conspiracy, Sam Bankman-Fried, is biding time giving crypto investment tips to prison guards.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Indeed, Bankman-Fried, a.k.a. SBF, currently resides in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, where he has been sharing crypto market tips, recommending the guards to invest in Solana (SOL), according to The New York Times report published on February 27.</p>
