The co-founder of failed cryptocurrency exchange FTX pleaded not guilty to a seven count indictment charging him with wire fraud, securities fraud and money laundering.

An attorney for FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried said in federal court Tuesday his client has to subsist on bread, water and peanut butter because the jail he’s in isn’t accommodating his vegan diet.

    Nobody said the guy is entirely ethical ¯\(ツ)

    I don’t think being forced to consume death/murder is the answer to him not being ethical with people’s funds.

      So you aren’t killing the plants and vegetables you eat as a vegan?

      Or you perceive no ethical quandaries about murdering plants?

      Or plants don’t count because they don’t have the same type of nervous system that allows us to communicate in an ethically direct fashion?

      Are trees ethically more important than plants you can ethically eat, thus perceived as more ethically protected under such auspices?

      And what’s your ethical stance on property development groups clear cutting small pine tree forested areas near existing residential/industrial/commercial zoned areas to create more affordable single family and multi-family homes for low income families?
