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.

Hate the guy, pretty much, but tbh if it's true this isn't okay.

No what's not okay is that they aren't forcing him it eat meat against his will. This is prison, not a vacation, he needs to be punished not catered to.
