On December 20, according to The New York Times, FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried has a new “career” as a “legal advisor” in prison. SBF is now providing advice to several individuals, including former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández and music producer Sean Combs. In an interview, he stated that he is helping others in ways that overwhelmed lawyers are unable to handle. SBF said that the standards for federal defense are “shockingly low,” and he does not see himself replacing lawyers but rather that lawyers “weren’t doing much to begin with.” Many lawyers are unable to give clients enough attention due to an overload of cases. Currently, SBF is serving time in a California prison, while also appealing his case and seeking a presidential pardon in the United States.
