Although the reason for this move remains unclear, it follows a controversial incident in which Bankman-Fried conducted an unauthorized interview with conservative commentator Tucker Carlson on YouTube. The interview reportedly led to Bankman-Fried being placed in solitary confinement, as reported by The New York Times, citing anonymous sources familiar with the situation.<\/p>\n

Bankman-Fried\u2019s interview with Carlson appears to be part of his attempt to secure a pardon from former President Donald Trump, though experts suggest his chances of success are minimal. Many crypto lobbyists have expressed skepticism, with one stating that Bankman-Fried has a \u201cnear zero\u201d chance of receiving a pardon.<\/p>\n

The FTX founder\u2019s legal troubles began after the exchange collapsed in November 2022, leading to bankruptcy amid accusations of mismanaging customer funds. Bankman-Fried had allegedly lent out billions of dollars to Alameda Research, FTX\u2019s trading arm. The fallout caused a significant drop in cryptocurrency prices, and the founder was arrested by federal authorities shortly thereafter.<\/p>\n
