FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried attends as FBI agent Marc Troiano testifies as Bankman-Fried faces fraud charges over the collapse of the bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange, at federal court in New York City, today. Jane Rosenberg/ReutersMost days, Sam Bankman-Fried gets up around 4 am to prep for his defense. Breakfast at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where he’s been held since August, is served at 6 am. Bankman-Fried is also “friendly” with Genaro García Luna, the former head of Mexico’s FBI, who is awaiting sentencing for drug trafficking, this person said. When his trial began earlier this month, observers quickly noted changes to Bankman-Fried’s appearance.
