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.

        Ironic he can respect animals more than people

        He doesn’t eat humans or variations of incarcerated pregnant ladies’ nonconsensually acquired breast milk. He respects them at least the same actually.

          Yes instead of killing mammals he does the humane thing of subjecting them to a long life of ruin and despair.

            The equivalency I’ve provided is equivalent. If animals were moral agents with bank accounts he may have done the same to them while still respecting their bodily autonomy. But they are just moral subjects with no bank accounts, so I’m only going to make equivalent what is certain. I don’t think you can certainly say he respects non-human animals more than humans.

                  That’s cool dawg. You can support the shit bag that ripped off thousands of people for billions of dollars if it helps you sleep at night. I don’t believe for a second someone that messed up can have a good thought. So he may say he’s vegan, but I doubt it.
