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.

    Because meat isn’t taxes properly so that having a decent meat based diet is cheaper than having a decent plant based one

    Sure there are a lot of cheap vegan meals, too, but some of them are harder and/or take longer to prepare than cheap meat-based food

    I’d guess the dairy/meat lobby would complain a lot of they didn’t have people forced to eat their stuff in prison

    Id guess it’s a very nice baseline of product-sales
