According to Bloomberg, the former FTX CEO’s stay in Bahamian prison has been relatively luxurious. The report indicates that, contrary to the crypto community’s speculation, Bankman-Fried’s life in Fox Hill “has been about as good as it gets.”
The disgraced crypto exchange founder reportedly has had access to running water, a toilet, a shower, a cot, a television set, local newspapers, and crossword puzzles—perks which the article describes as “luxuries,” considering the conditions in which most Fox Hill prisoners are forced to live in.
Bankman-Fried has benefited from other privileges, including vegan food (instead of the standard breakfast sausage and corned beef lunch), an air-conditioned cell, and bidaily medical check-ups by the prison physician. His cell, far from overcrowded, only counts four other inmates, with guards on duty from 2pm to 6am to guarantee Bankman-Fried’s safety.
