   <p lang="en" dir="ltr">Guys, I normally wouldn’t mind if someone reposts my photo &amp; doesn’t credit me, but I literally had to get this photo of Sam Bankman-Fried from prison inmates. 🤣 (I censored faces for their privacy other than G Lock who I interviewed.) <a href="https://t.co/rJF0SXZ7Wf" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/rJF0SXZ7Wf</a></p>— Tiffany Fong (@TiffanyFong_) <a href="https://twitter.com/TiffanyFong_/status/1759784032907510264?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">February 20, 2024</a>

<p>The journalist also published a fragment of an interview with another prisoner under the alias G-Lock, who communicated with Bankman-Fried. He described the FTX founder as strange, but admitted that he considered him a good guy.</p> 
<p>‪“Sam Bankman was clean shaven, you heard, now he’s scruffier than a motherfucker,” G Lock, an alleged member of the Bloods gang, told Fong in an excerpt from a post release interview that will be released in full on her YouTube channel next week. </p>
