A judge revoked Sam Bankman-Fried’s house arrest and transferred him from his California luxury home to New York’s harsh Metropolitan Detention Center, despite appeals from his lawyers.
SBF faces at least two months in the notorious jail known for bleak conditions and inmate abuse. The decision followed his alleged leaks about ex Caroline Ellison and claims he improperly swayed witnesses.
The Brooklyn facility has housed infamous criminals like Epstein and drawn criticism for overcrowding, violence and poor conditions. SBF’s weekends now involve sparse cells, contrasting his former lavish lifestyle.
His legal team argues the transfer was unjustified given the jail’s harsh realities. But citing witness tampering allegations, the judge defended the move. SBF remains confined as his lawyers fight to overturn the decision.
