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.
Make him work in a sweatshop 16 hours a day until he can pay back everything he stole?
i don’t like slavery, either.
So don’t punish him at all? Just let him get away with it?

i don’t really believe punishment is necessary, but surely there is something we could do to get him to help like… fix the problems he created for others.
I mean, I agree with the core of what you’re saying, but there’s a difference between believing in rehabilitation over punishment for someone who robbed a convenience store because they needed money to feed their baby, and someone who exhibited this degree of sociopathic behavior.
What would you propose we do to fix the problems he created? He could spend a lifetime paying it back bit by bit and still not be finished when he dies.
I don’t have the answer but I don’t see what good it does to lock him up
It ensures he can’t harm anyone else, for one. It provides some measure of closure and peace of mind to the victims, for another. It’s not like it’s just financial crimes, it’s witness tampering and threats that he’s in there for. How else can the witnesses feel safe? If I were they, I certainly wouldn’t feel safe if he was out on the street.
no, it doesn’t: there are other people in prisons.
i don’t see how anyone is safer with him locked in a cage.
