Sam Bankman-Fried, the embattled founder of the collapsed FTX crypto exchange, allegedly contemplated a strategy to salvage his reputation by appearing on Tucker Carlson’s show and denouncing the “woke agenda.”
Recently, a Google Document titled “random probably bad ideas” emerged as part of Bankman-Fried’s prosecutors’ sentencing submission, shedding light on his potential tactics.
Despite his lawyers advocating for a 50-year prison sentence instead of the maximum 115 years, Bankman-Fried’s purported list included a proposal to engage in a public interview with former Fox broadcaster Tucker Carlson. In this hypothetical scenario, Bankman-Fried intended to publicly align himself with the U.S. Republican party and use the platform to criticize the bankruptcy lawyers overseeing FTX’s fraud case while condemning what he perceived as the “woke agenda.”
However, Bankman-Fried’s plans never materialized, as Tucker Carlson’s show had been canceled by Fox News in 2023.
The leaked document revealed Bankman-Fried’s harsh assessment of the legal proceedings, accusing the consortium of attorneys of eroding value and sacrificing entrepreneurs to conceal their own incompetence.
Additionally, Bankman-Fried expressed his desire to restore value to customers and criticized the handling of the FTX case by the Chapter 11 team, describing it as colonial and dominated by a cabal of lawyers.
In light of Bankman-Fried’s indictment on multiple counts of fraud and conspiracy, his sentencing is scheduled for March 28. Prosecutors have advocated for a lengthy prison term and a substantial financial judgment, labeling his fraud as one of the largest in history.
Despite his intentions to appeal his conviction, Bankman-Fried’s future remains uncertain. The outcome of his sentencing will not only impact his life but also have broader implications for the legal landscape concerning financial crimes and cryptocurrency.
