Sam Bankman-Fried living on bread and water because jail won't abide by vegan diet, lawyer says
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.

 

Aug. 23, 2023, 1:50 AM +07

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.

 

Defense attorney Mark Cohen said that Bankman-Fried isn’t getting his prescribed Adderall, which helps him focus, and that he isn’t getting a vegan diet, so he has had to subsist on bread and water with some peanut butter.

 

U.S. Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn said she doesn’t think the prison can offer a vegan diet, only a vegetarian one, and she said she would look into the situation right away. Bankman-Fried is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.

Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.

he must be very well segregated ,, otherwise it would be a diet of tube steak smothered in underwaer

Vegans put their hands and fingers on the food more then meat eaters do. I saw a vegan preparing a meal and they made sure each tiny bit was touched by them like they were fondling the food. They want you to eat what they touched with their fingers.

What are you trying to tell me ?

I feel very disconnected from the world. First I had no idea who 'Danish Tony' is, and now 'Perth Girl'. I thought I was keeping abreast of world events, but obviously not.

Looks like an advocate for suicide by starvation. 

 My whole food plant based diet means that oils and processed packaged foods are likewise excluded. But vitamin B12 is required.  

 

I cook a spicy veggie soup, followed by a veggie salad and completed with fruit and various nuts in a six hour window, and apart from green tea that's it for the day.

 

No dairy, no meat eaten, and it's no business of mine what people think of me.

Used to associate with the Vegan cyclists in CM, never seen such an aggressive bunch, fist fights and reporting each other to the police nearly every week. All disappeared now.

 

Girl in the photo looks like she has a serious eating disorder!

i remember, saw one of their bikes parked up, had a vegan sticker on it, i let his tyres down and chucked his pump in the river.

When?

 

Vegans have been very political for a very long time (decades).

 

Nobody who could be reasonably described as 'girl' could possibly be old enough to have started anything - look to those in PETA and similar organisations.

 

Not all of them of course.....

 

 

I had a gf who used to donate to Peta all the time.  She was also a huge dog lover also.  I asked her if she was at all conflicted by supporting Peta despite their their advocacy for a pet free world.  Let's just say Peta's coffers got a little lighter that year.

I have known some nasty vegans, but it’s only the females. Male vegans always seem peaceful and non-aggressive. ????????‍♂️

The women miss the meat

Thanks for letting us know you don't care about what others think about that which you do not care what others think.

Veganism is not a diet. It's an ideology.

Well, it is extreme. I get being vegetarian, but not vegan. I don't eat meat, except for chicken. My moral code is that I don't want to eat anything I would not be willing to kill myself. I would not want to kill a cow, pig, lamb or sheep. A chicken? With glee. Same for seafood. No issues. 

 

 

Ahh, Boomers complaining about things that don't affect them, a tale as old as they are.

 

Someone being Vegan doesn't affect you. It doesn't affect your life whatsoever. At all. AT ALL.

 

If you don't want to see Vegan stuff, stop searching for it or close your eyes. The existence of vegans does not affect your life, literally, in any way. Any way that you think they are affecting your life, is Just imagined / hallucination / a stretch so stretched it almost snaps in half.

 

 

Get a hobby.????

Me wife and i believe that the beef industry contributes to global warming by the amount of methane the cows produce.

 

We are firmly against the beef industry so we do our best to kill and eat as many cows as we can, piece by tasty piece.

Also we only eat Vegan beef, the cows must only be raised on plants and therefore are plant based.

 

so i guess we are environmentally aware vegans.

Aw, you have no idea how many vegans there are in the world.
People don't like that others don't eat the way they do.  
Vegans get sabotaged by omnivores all.the.time.

Where do you get this information?  I've been vegetarian for 30 years and find your comment preposterous.

Vegans are food fascists, they give vegetarians a bad name, we want nothing to do with them

Then you had better find out what social media she is on and register your grievance with her there.

 

Because there is **** all chance of her seeing it here.

 

Here you're just another sad old man shouting at the wind.

Well, I don't know how many vegans there are - - but the few I have met are exactly as you describe - they seem rather obnoxious and aggressively proud to be vegan... I could not care in the least what a person eats or doesn't eat... the last time I was in a vegan restaurant, they kept telling me 10 more minutes, until an hour passed... I paid them for half the meal that I never dcvd and left... I understand that is not every vegan experience, just mine. 

 

I wouldn't know if someone is a vegan or not - though surely they will tell me..
