As FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried faces up to 115 years in prison for a number of conspiracy charges, some other high-profile executives who have faced similar charges are weighing in to give the former cryptocurrency billionaire some advice on how to survive prison.
Martin Shkreli, notoriously known as “Pharma Bro,” reacted to Bankman-Fried’s potential prison sentence in an interview with journalist Laura Shin, expressing concerns that the disgraced FTX founder was too “effeminate.”“Sam isn't exactly gonna be somebody that fits into prison. You know, my advice for him includes shaving his head, my advice for him includes deepening his voice,” Shkreli told Shin on her podcast Unchained.
Before that, Shkreli was widely criticized for raising the price of a vital drug used to treat AIDS by 5,455% and then posting on social media that he was disappointed he didn’t raise the price even higher — prompting widespread backlash. The move earned Shkreli the moniker “Pharma Bro.”
