FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) has been moved to a federal transit center in Oklahoma City.

According to WSJ, his transfer began on March 26 following an unauthorized video interview with Tucker Carlson from a Brooklyn prison.

Sam Bankman-Fried is doing 25 years behind bars, and is now sharing a cell block with Diddy. He joins us from prison for an update on his new life.

During the conversation, SBF stated that he believes his sentence is unjust. He claimed that if not for the collapse, FTX could have had “$100 billion in assets against $15 billion in liabilities.”

The interview likely influenced the decision to transfer him. It was aired as part of efforts by Bankman-Fried’s family to seek a reduced sentence.

SBF’s relocation is linked to finalizing his designated prison facility. He is currently in a transit prison, which serves as a temporary stop before inmates are sent to permanent correctional institutions.

The former FTX CEO is expected to be placed in a main prison, likely in California, near his parents’ home. His release date is set for November 17, 2044.

On February 20, Bankman-Fried reiterated that at the time of FTX’s collapse, the exchange was solvent but illiquid. He also appealed to U.S. President Donald Trump for a pardon.
