Cryptocurrency columnist Tiffany Fong recently interviewed the founder of bankrupt exchange FTX, SBF, who is currently detained at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center. During the interview, SBF’s cellmate, G Lock (formerly a member of the Bloods gang), shared the only photo of SBF taken around Christmas last year (December 17, 2023). Due to prison regulations, photos are only allowed on Christmas and Father’s Day. In the photo, SBF appears noticeably thinner compared to before.
During the interview, G Lock mentioned that SBF dislikes taking showers, sports a large beard, and dresses untidily. However, overall, G Lock believes that SBF is a good person. Tiffany Fong also asked G Lock if SBF avoids showering to prevent incidents involving “dropping the soap.” G Lock laughed and said that it was something that only happened in the 90s.
Furthermore, G Lock had nothing but praise for SBF, stating that he is not the type to snitch and even comparing him to American rapper Tekashi69, known as the “69 Devil.”
