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.

    You’re trying, I like it. The thing is, no one calls themselves “plant-based eaters.” It’s too many syllables…

      Homie there are absolutely people who think vegans are crazy and eat plant-based. They don’t want to be described as vegan. A lot of them are in the Gwyneth Paltrow goop crowd, you know, the crazy holistic people that like incense and hot yoga and shit. People who really really like the word journey when they describe things changing in their lives. People who think eating plant based is a personal choice just like they claim eating meat is a personal choice. They do it for health and some weird hippie superiority thing. Sometimes because its what God originally wanted people to eat in the Garden of Eden.

      Those people exist. Idk why you’re suggesting I’m lying.

        Well, none of them are here in this thread, so it’s obvious you’re just lying and dredging up excuses to help SBF avoid consequences for his actions. You’re a despicable piece of shit – though what can we expect from someone who prefers the company of snakes to human beings?
