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.

    It’s the same thing with the trans woman Jan 6th rioter. She deserves punishment, but it should be humane. No one should be forced to serve a sentence where they don’t belong, and we shouldn’t be OK with it in any instance just because we disagree with the person. We should take the opportunity to improve things for everyone.

    (We can still appreciate the irony of a trans person supporting Trump/Republicans and then being upset that their gender is not being recognized, then asking MTG and that lot for help. It shouldn’t happen, but it is ironic.)

      I didn’t hear about that. I’m trying to think of something funny or snarky in response but I got nothing. Some people 🙄
