The SBF crisis manager is resigned after the sudden prison interview

Sam Bankman-Fred (SBF), the disgraceful founder of the Cryptocurrency Exchange FTX, conducted a second interview from the prison, and again drawn controversy and caused repercussions on the crisis management team.

The interview, which was hosted by Taker Karlson and published on social media on the thirty-third Bankman-Ried birthday, took even his public relations representative, Mark Putnik, by surprise. As a result, Botnick resigned from his position, saying he had no prior knowledge of the interview and did not participate in his planning.

in statement To Business Insider, Botnick said,

“As of today, I no longer represent SBF.”

It is important to note that Botnick is a strategist in a seasoned public relations who previously worked with former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg. He has managed the image of Bankman-Fred since the FTX collapsed in November 2022 and played an important role in moving in the besieged entrepreneur through various legal challenges, including his guarantee violations and imprisonment before the trial.

However, it seems that the increased inability to predict SBF has been strained on their business relationship. Recently, he published messages about X advice on former President Donald Trump’s plans to remove federal employees – the procedures have not been approved or authorized.

Prison confessions: SBF says he is not a criminal

during interviewThe armed seat was reflected in his experience in prison and commented on his fellow prisoner Sean “Didi” Comes at the detention center of the capital in Brooklyn, saying, saying,

It was nice with people in loneliness. It was nice with me. It is also, it is a situation that no one wants to be, as you know – it is clear that he does not do it, I do not do that. As I said, it is a kind of place to crush the soul to the world in general. “

Despite his condemnation and ongoing calls, Hafezman-Fric kept his innocence, he told Carlson, “I don’t think I am a criminal.” He was also estimated that, at least, he will be in the late 1940s when he was released, although he was sentenced to the age of 57.

His previous interviews have been used with major outlets such as The Financial Times, Bloomberg News and Vox are already against him in court and occupied evidence of how to mislead investors.

SBF’s political change

It seems that SBF political loyalties were a tourist as his business ethics, as shown in his interview with a right -wing political commentator. After he previously put himself as a major donor to the Democratic Party, he seems now a pivotal towards President Trump and the Republican Party.

Joe Biden and former SEC President Gary Ginserner, whose aggressive position on organizing the cryptocurrency was criticized for a few to help the FTX founder case. Now he is serving a 25-year prison sentence, it appears that the Bankman-Fried looks forward to a different way to salvation-through the possibility of Trump’s amnesty.

Speculation about a possible pardon for the first time in December, which was first featted, gained deep democratic relations discussions in Bankman-Ried. Even Elon Musk was weighing, saying that he would “shock” if the pardon was not on the table. However, with a decrease in his legal paths, reports showed that his parents were pressuring for the compassion of Trump, indicating that the calculus and political integration in SBF had turned significantly.
