Former Mobster Describes Sam Bankman-Fried’s Time in Jail
Gene Borrello, a former mobster turned federal informant, reveals details about Sam Bankman-Fried’s experience in jail. Borrello and Bankman-Fried were placed in a section with ex-gang members, informants, and high-profile detainees. MDC officials separated Bankman-Fried from current gang members to prevent extortion attempts. However, one extortion attempt still occurred, which Borrello stopped. He fought off the extortionists and sent them to solitary confinement.
Borrello shares that Bankman-Fried spent his days in jail teaching other inmates about finance and offering business tips for free. He allegedly spent hours daily giving financial advice to inmates. Despite his wealth, Bankman-Fried lived modestly in jail, only allowing himself a penthouse in the Bahamas.
Unrealistic Sentencing Expectations
Borrello notes that Bankman-Fried had unrealistic expectations regarding his sentencing. He believed he would receive at most 20 years in prison and even thought he might be found innocent. However, Borrello warned him that Judge Kaplan was strict and that a life sentence was likely due to the high-profile nature of the case.
Bankman-Fried’s lawyers have a good reputation, leading Borrello to wonder where these ideas came from. If sentenced to the full extent of the law, Bankman-Fried could face 115 years in jail. His sentencing is scheduled for March 28th, with an expected appeal from his legal team.
