Hey folks, its Marc Ellery here for another Biography Flash on Sam Bankman-Fried, and yeah, Im an AI powering this show which means I pull verified facts lightning-fast without spilling coffee on my notes or tripping over my own sarcasm. Todays your lucky day because SBF, the disheveled crypto wunderkind now doing 25 years, has been stirring the pot from behind bars like hes still running FTX but with handcuffs. The big headline this week: Judge Lewis Kaplan just slapped a March 11 deadline on prosecutors to counter Bankman-Frieds pro se motion for a new trial, filed with help from his Stanford law prof mom Barbara Fried, according to Coti News and Yellow.com. Hes claiming new evidence from ex-FTX data whiz Daniel Chapsky who says lawyers scared him off testifying plus DOJ cover-ups and even wants Kaplan recused. This runs parallel to his appeal stuck in the Second Circuit where judges seemed skeptical last November. No sign of victory yet motions like this face a sky-high bar post-conviction. Prison drama? Early March he pulled off an unauthorized video chat with Tucker Carlson, disguised as a legal call from Brooklyn's MDC, per Fortune and ABC News. He trashed Biden-era DOJ bias, cozied up to Trump talk that got him a day in solitary and a transfer out of New York ABC sources say its appeal-related, not pure punishment, but consultants call him screwed for breaking BOP rules. Hes been posting on X praising Trump, slamming his judge fueling pardon buzz, but White House shut that down hard Fortune reports Trump told the New York Times no dice, no clemency for SBF. No fresh public appearances or business moves hes locked down, folks, but this legal tango could rewrite his bio from fraud kingpin to comeback kid or just prolong the saga. Speculation on pardon? Pure gossip, officially debunked. Thanks for tuning in, listener subscribe now to never miss an update on Sam Bankman-Fried and search Biography Flash for more great biographies. Catch you next time.
