Sam Bankman-Fried / Tucker Carlson Network
The disgraced crypto fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried has given an exclusive interview to Tucker Carlson from prison.
The 33-year-old, who was sentenced to 25 years in prison after being convicted of fraud and other related crimes, said that he found the experience “kind of dystopian” but insisted he was not in any physical danger.
Carlson asked him whether he had hung out with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, who is incarcerated at the same facility as he awaits trial on multiple charges of sex trafficking.
‘Have you made friends there?” Carlson asked. “Are you hanging with Diddy? I think he’s in there with you.”
”He is.. he’s been kind,” he responded. “I’ve made some friends; it’s a weird environment.”
”It’s a combination of a few other high-profile cases and a lot of alleged ex-gangsters.”
‘I’ve only seen one piece of him, which is Diddy in prison. He’s been kind to people in the unit, he’s been kind to me.”
‘It’s kind of a soul-crushing place for the world in general and what we see are just the people that are around us on the inside rather than who we are on the outside.”
Sam Bankman-Fried is doing 25 years behind bars, and is now sharing a cell block with Diddy. He joins us from prison for an update on his new life.

Bankman-Fried also said that despite donating heavily to Democrats, he was disappointed with Joe Biden’s presidency.
“In 2020, I was center-left and I gave to Biden’s campaign, I was optimistic he would be a center-left president,” he explained.
“I spent the next few years in D.C. a lot. I was really really shocked by what I saw there… and not in a good direction.”
“By late 2022, I was giving to Republicans as much as Democrats.”
Last month, it was reported that Bankman-Fried’s parents were angling for a pardon from President Trump after he granted clemency to the Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht.
Joseph Bankman and Barbara Fried, who are both Stanford Law School Professors, reportedly held meetings recently with lawyers and those close to Trump in the hope of turning their
