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.

    Hard disagree, the point of veganism is literally to stop victimization of animals, you want to justify victimization because you don’t like someone who’s requesting it doesn’t happen? That stance is just horrific.

        Can you explain how it helps the people who got ripped off by FTX to have a bunch of animals killed to feed SBF. Or how killing a bunch of animals to feed SBF somehow victimizes humans. Since you’re accusing me of not caring about humans, for some frigging reason.

            The animal is not already dead since we’re talking about what he’s fed in the future. “Humans are not herbivores” is nonsensical because humans do “fine” on either an herbivorous or omnivorous diet (shorter life expectancy on an omnivorous diet to be exact). Your taxes are already going to feed criminals and feeding them meat and dairy costs more than feeding them beans, rice and greens. And don’t be proclaiming you’re “too good to argue with someone” the second they ask you to back up the bullshit attack you just launched on them in public.

              You think people in jail are getting fresh beef from the butcher? If rice and beans were cheaper, I’m sure they’d serve it. Also, vegans do fine with supplements you mean, sometimes. Or they starve to death or have health problems from malnutrition

                Come back when you haven’t pulled everything you’re saying out of your ass.

                  My point is made, you’re an idiot. A tiktok vegan recently died, all over the news. Pretty sure even vegans are aware they need supplements lol. Moron

                    Oh, OK, so you formed your entire opinion about the suitability of a diet based on a news story you saw about one person on TikTok. You’re right, what do I know about veganism after being vegan for a decade.
