Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of FTX, has been reported by CoinTelegraph and the NYT to be giving financial advice and recommending the purchase of Solana cryptocurrency to prison guards and inmates while serving his sentence in a Brooklyn jail. This behavior has led to discussions about his potential early release due to good conduct. Additionally, there have been allegations of extortion and harassment by jailhouse snitches working for the federal authorities against Bankman-Fried. In a surprising turn of events, Coinbase is reportedly hiring Bankman-Fried as an advisor following earlier issues with their platform.
