The photo shows Bankman-Fried with a new beard and a slimmer physique, standing alongside five other inmates. Tiffany Fong, who obtained the photo during an interview with a former MDC inmate identified only as “G Lock,” noted Bankman-Fried’s significant weight loss and less frequent grooming habits since being imprisoned.
G Lock, who had associated with Bankman-Fried during his time in prison, described him as “strange as shit” but overall a “good guy.”
Despite the changes in his grooming routine, G Lock mentioned that Bankman-Fried had not faced any severe violence or intimidation while at the MDC. Interestingly, G Lock commented on Bankman-Fried’s resilience, noting that he was “more gangster” than rapper Tekashi Six Nine, highlighting that unlike the rapper, Bankman-Fried never betrayed anyone’s trust while in prison.
The crypto community on X has reacted to the photo, with opinions ranging from concern over Bankman-Fried’s well-being to humorous remarks about his prison life and alleged gang affiliations.
Additionally, Fong revealed that Bankman-Fried and his fellow inmates had watched the 60 Minutes interview with Michael Lewis, author of “Going Infinite: The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon,” a biography on Bankman-Fried, and even shared moments roasting him over his past relationship with Caroline Ellison.
