<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The first photo of FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) in prison has been posted on X by the crypto influencer Tiffany Fong.</span></p> 
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“He’s obviously lost some weight, and I’ve heard that he’s not showering very much,” said Fong in a <a href="https://twitter.com/TiffanyFong_/status/1759771479645020571">video</a> posted to X on Feb. 20. “He’s not as clean-shaven as he used to be. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">But he’s obviously going through a lot right now.”</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fong said she got the photo from a former gang member who goes by the name “G Lock” who was in prison with </span><a href="https://insidebitcoins.com/news/sam-bankman-fried-to-testify-as-early-as-today-will-be-skinned-alive-says-anthony-scaramucci"><span style="font-weight: 400;">SBF</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p> 
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“According to G Lock, the photos were taken on December 17, because apparently inmates are only allowed to take photos on Christmas and Father’s Day,” Fong said.</span></p> 
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the picture, the disgraced FTX founder was sporting a beard while standing alongside five other inmates, including G Lock. Fong said she obscured the faces of the other inmates for privacy reasons.&nbsp;</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">SBF has been at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center since August 2023. Initially placed under house arrest, SBF was later imprisoned after a judge ruled that there was probable cause to believe SBF tried to “tamper with witnesses.”</span></p> 
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">SBF has adapted to the economic realities of prison fairly quickly, with prison consultant Bill Baroni telling the </span><a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/currencies/sam-bankman-frieds-life-behind-bars-crypto-tips-and-paying-with-fish-858097c6?mod=e2tw"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Wall Street Journal</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> earlier that the FTX founder paid four mackerel for a haircut. Mackerels took over from cigarettes as the preferred medium of exchange when cigarettes were banned in federal prisons in 2004, the WSJ said.</span></p>
