Last year, we learned that famous crypto scammer Sam Bankman-Fried was set to be locked up in the same jailhouse as “The Diddler” himself, Diddy. And as interesting as that was, what’s more intriguing is that it seems like the two public pariah’s have actually crossed paths behind bars, and Fried had nothing but love for him.

According to the Daily Mail UK, Sam Bankman-Fried sat down for an interview with right-wing media darling, Tucker Carlson (of course) from a remote room at the Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, and during the wide-ranging interview, which included his charges, prison life and evil Democrats (of course), Tucker bluntly asked him “Have you made friends there? Are you hanging with Diddy? I think he’s in there with you.”

While you’d think that fresh fish like Fried would have a hard time in jail given the nature of his blue collar crime and his overall appearance, he says that he’s been treated well by his fellow inmates and Diddy, in particular, has basically been living up to his moniker “Brother Love” from what he could tell.
Per Daily Mail UK:
‘He is.. he’s been kind. I’ve made some friends, it’s a weird environment. It’s a combination of a few other high-profile cases and a lot of alleged ex-gangsters.
‘I’ve only seen one piece of him, which is Diddy in prison. He’s been kind to people in the unit, he’s been kind to me.
‘It’s kind of a soul crushing place for the world in general and what we see are just the people that are around us on the inside rather than who we are on the outside.
‘Some of them I think are thinking well this is sort of an opportunity to meet people they wouldn’t otherwise get to meet,’ Bankman-Fried said.
‘It makes sense from their perspective, but boy is that not how I think about prison.’
Yeah, most of us are actually good on having to go to prison to get the opportunity to meet celebrities or people we wouldn’t normally interact with, but hey, that’s just us.
While we’re glad to hear that Diddy is in good spirits while behind bars, we just hope that Fried doesn’t end up getting shaken down for some “chon chon” at some point on some Blood In Blood Out sh*t. Just sayin’.
Luckily for him, Fried also added that “The fortunate thing, the place I’m in, I’m not in… I’m not in physical danger.” Let’s hope it stays that way.
What do y’all think about Sam Bankman-Fried’s description of Diddy and their current prison environment? Is he good, or do you think it’s only a matter of time before things go left? Let us know in the comments section below.
