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.

    No one is saying criminals don’t deserve some form of punishment. I’m saying that doesn’t mean they don’t deserve basic humanity. Even if someone stole a lot of money I’m not ready to condemn that person to a life of constant pain and humiliation.

    It’s not about what they “deserve”, it’s about the bare minimum humane treatment I would be willing to accept for any human being.
