FTX founder SBF's new identity in prison: serving as a legal advisor to fellow inmates

2025-12-20 10:20:10

Abstract generation in progress

【Crypto World】FTX founder SBF has taken on a new role in prison—“Inmate Legal Advisor.” According to reports, he has already provided legal advice to several inmates, including former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández and well-known music producer Sean Combs.

In an interview, SBF admitted that many legal cases are piling up and he simply cannot give each client enough attention. He believes his role is to fill these overlooked gaps. More bluntly, he thinks the level of federal defense attorneys is “shockingly low”—he does not intend to replace lawyers, just that “lawyers haven’t really put in much effort.”

Currently, SBF is serving time in a California prison, while also pursuing appeals in his own case and seeking a presidential pardon in the United States. From the creator of the crypto empire to an inmate advisor, this transformation alone is thought-provoking.

This operation is really something, is he still trying to roll with lawyers in prison? Why can't sbf just calm down, seriously? Is this trying to score points for his appeal, such a smart person? From the exchange boss to being a consultant in prison, life is truly a big cycle. Can this really lead to a pardon, he's so good at making things happen. By the way, are these lawyers really that incompetent, still needing him to save the day? This is ridiculous, he hasn't even started serving his sentence yet and he's already starting a new career. Even after everything, he's still thinking about taking a shortcut, he really dares to think. People who come out of our circle are just different, they can cause trouble anywhere. Isn't this just a roundabout way of promoting himself for a lighter sentence? From zk to prison buddies, I didn't expect this transition.

From being a pro in the crypto world to working for others in prison, this reversal is quite something. This guy is really living life to the fullest; he can even extend his life in jail. Isn't the level of the big lawyer sufficient? Bro, why don't you win your own case first? Is this called "playing the remaining heat"? I see it as paving the way for a pardon. The identity of a consultant in prison is even more impressive than the title of the FTX founder. Interesting, users who were deceived must be at a loss upon seeing this news. Bro, how idle do you have to be to pull off this operation in prison?

You made me laugh to death, this guy is really ruthless. But on the other hand, this set of statements does sound like he's trying to clear his own name. Wait, is he still fighting for clemency? That move is really brilliant. The character reversal of SBF is too bizarre. It feels like he's giving advice to others in prison, but he might as well think about how to save himself first. This story is as outrageous as a movie script. Being a consultant for cellmates, how come he's so good at "entrepreneurship"? Forget it, I'll just watch silently.

Laughing to death, scammers still want to teach others how to sue? That logic is incredible. When it comes to survival after being caught, SBF is truly top-tier. Rating lawyers? He really dares to say it, haha. Want amnesty? Just pay back the money first, brother. From scammer to "advisor," only separated by a prison gate. This guy really dares to do anything, still busy inside the prison. Alright, you can do it, all the big shots have to listen to you? A typical "I gained enlightenment after going in" persona. Basically, still trying to create a good image, waiting for the president to pardon him. The story of a genius turning into a cellmate, a curve-saving version.

Oh wow, this guy is really talented. Even prison can't reform him. SBF's move is a bit extreme, still trying to give people advice? Wait, he's still appealing himself, take care of yourself first haha. Is this called a desperate comeback? Falling from a crypto big shot to a legal advisor in prison... It's really ironic, being sentenced and still able to mess around. But speaking of, federal lawyers are indeed quite lacking, but SBF, your words are a bit funny. This guy is also busy in prison, full of creativity. Is he trying to pave the way for a reduced sentence? Quite a clever move. From bankruptcy to prison, and now a legal advisor, life is like a drama. No, is he trying to gain fame through a pardon?

Dishing dirt on lawyers, isn't that a bit extreme? You're already inside and still trying to give advice to others. This guy really dares to say that federal lawyers are shockingly incompetent, so how did you get involved then? The "prison advisor" persona, doesn't it sound more exciting than being a trader... Wait, isn't this logic reversed? Your own case is still under appeal. Basically, it's the prison version of "I can guide you," ridiculous.

Huh? This guy is quite busy, serving his sentence while giving people advice. SBF's move is truly incredible—scammers turning into legal advisors, even screenwriters wouldn't dare write this. Really? He still dares to say lawyers are unskilled? Does he not know his own worth? This is called "making full use of remaining heat," haha—prison version of a slash youth. From the king of the crypto world to a close personal lawyer in prison, a plot twist that feels like a爽文. Don't say I don't admire his "professional spirit," it's just a pity he used it in the wrong place.
