The co-founder of failed cryptocurrency exchange FTX pleaded not guilty to a seven count indictment charging him with wire fraud, securities fraud and money laundering.

An attorney for FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried said in federal court Tuesday his client has to subsist on bread, water and peanut butter because the jail he’s in isn’t accommodating his vegan diet.

    Can’t do the time, don’t do the crime.

    IDGAF. Your sloppy, pseudo-kung fu ass wants a vegan diet? Don’t fucking break the law.

      You haven’t been proven guilty of anything when you’re in jail. it should not be punitive. Innocent until proven guilty.

      When he gets to prison, by all means go ahead (I mean I believe in rehabilitation not retribution but that’s personal); until then why not treat him like a human?
