The scariest thing about prison for Sam Bankman-Fried is the lack of internet.
Michael Lewis, interviewed on his time with Sam Bankman-Fried, says:
I do think that if he had the internet, he could survive jail forever. Without having a constant stream of information to react to— I think he may go mad. If you gave Sam Bankman-Fried a choice (this is quite serious) of living in a $39 million penthouse in the Bahamas without the internet, or the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn with the internet, there’s no question in my mind he’d take the jail.
‘Is he going to throw the entire industry under the bus?’

He had friends in high places — and they are probably embarrassed right now.
