In the twisted saga of Sam Bankman-Fried, who thought he could waltz through life breaking the law like he’s above it all, a new chapter unfolds with his parents now playing the fear card. The Stanford Law professor, Barbara Fried, is trembling in her sensible shoes, warning the court about the “extreme danger” lurking in the shadowy corners of a ‘typical prison environment.’
Sam Bankman-Fried's Parents Say They Fear For His Life in Prisonhttps://t.co/V9U9S9sGoQ

Barbara’s desperate plea paints a picture of Sam as a misunderstood genius, a man of quirky traits and off-putting mannerisms that supposedly stem from his so-called high-functioning position in the Autism Spectrum Disorder hierarchy. It’s almost like they want us to believe he’s just an innocent puppy who got lost in the big, bad world of financial mischief.
But let’s cut through the liberal propaganda, shall we? Bankman-Fried isn’t some innocent victim stumbling through life. This is a man convicted of misusing funds, playing dirty in politics, and living the high life with other people’s hard-earned money. And now, when the consequences come knocking, suddenly his family plays the sympathy card. Classic move.
His father, Joseph Bankman, echoes this plea, drumming up the fear of physical harm and painting a picture of a fragile soul who couldn’t possibly survive the harsh realities of prison life. Please. This is a man who thought he was untouchable, above the law, and now they want us to believe he’s a delicate flower who will wither away in a cell?
Let’s not forget, Bankman-Fried wasn’t placed behind bars for an innocent stroll in the park. No, he was there for alleged witness tampering, misusing funds, and other shady dealings. And let’s not overlook his own father’s admission that “nothing he has done can justify putting him at that risk.” Well, maybe he should have thought of that before breaking the law.
So, as his parents try to tug at our heartstrings with tales of his awkwardness and social challenges, let’s remember one thing: actions have consequences. No one is above the law, no matter how much money they have or how awkward they may seem. It’s time for Bankman-Fried to face the music and take responsibility for his actions, no matter how hard his parents try to spin this tale of woe.
