SBF provides legal advice in prison: some are grateful, others are still sentenced

2025-12-20 11:38:10

【ChainNews】FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried’s new role in prison has attracted attention—he has started providing legal advice to other inmates. According to The New York Times, SBF’s clients include several well-known figures such as former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández and rapper Sean Combs.

But how effective is it? That’s a bit nuanced. Some people have indeed benefited from his advice and expressed gratitude. However, there are cases indicating that not everyone achieved the desired results—for example, Juan Orlando Hernández followed SBF’s testimony advice but was ultimately sentenced.

This story is quite interesting. From once being a top figure in the cryptocurrency world to now serving as a “legal advisor” in prison, SBF’s life trajectory has been turned upside down. Whether his advice has any real value seems to depend on the specific situation.

Laughing to death, a legal advisor in prison, this is what you call karmic retribution... --- Wait, he was sentenced himself and is still there giving advice? This logic is a bit absurd --- Some are saved while others continue to serve time, SBF really knows how to pick his audience for this business --- From Chain Community pro to prison consultant, this plot twist is well written --- The key is whether his advice is effective depends entirely on luck, Hernández obviously didn't draw the lucky card --- I just want to know how he built his credibility in prison... is it real or fake?

I have to say, this guy is truly incredible... Falling from a big shot in the crypto world to giving advice from prison, it's so ironic. He spent tens of millions but still couldn't escape the law; can his "legal advice" be reliable? I don't believe you, haha. The key is, some people actually believe it... That guy took the advice and ended up being sentenced anyway. Isn't that shooting himself in the foot? Regarding his second career after release... Is this considered a creative turnaround? Honestly, this storyline is more outrageous than a crypto crash; the character reversal is happening way too fast.

Haha, this guy is really something. From chopping leeks to charging his cellmate advice fees? Almost laughed out loud. Juan Orlando actually believed his nonsense, and ended up being sentenced anyway. This is called "professional service." SBF's move this time is fortunate to be in prison; otherwise, he would have exploited another wave of leeks. Honestly, who would trust this guy's legal advice? He's the type who can appeal a sentence three times. He can scam his way into being the founder of FTX despite bankruptcy and debt, and now he continues to tell stories in prison—truly a character. Are the cellmates really brave enough to consult him? Aren't they afraid of being scammed even deeper?

Haha, stop joking. A legal advisor in prison—how confident must he be? --- Is SBF actually using his scam tactics as legal advice? LOL --- Someone gets scammed by him and still has to be grateful? Unbelievable mindset. --- From billionaire to prison advisor, his persona collapsed so quickly. --- "Adopt advice or be sentenced"... How much is this advice worth? --- Really wonder if anyone regrets listening to him, it's incredible. --- The Prison Big Victims Club now has a CEO.
