SBF's current situation in prison revealed: He takes medication daily to treat depression; fellow inmates say he plans to issue a new token after his release.

According to a lengthy report in *New York Magazine*, FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried (34 years old) is currently incarcerated at the Lompoc Federal Prison in California, taking Adderall and Emsam daily for clinical depression and ADHD. While in prison, SBF continues to write a serialized memoir titled *Manfred*, sending it to a small number of relatives and friends via the prison mail system. He adheres to a vegetarian diet, refusing to eat in the prison cafeteria and instead purchasing ingredients from the convenience store to prepare his own meals, even compiling a "vegetarian prison cookbook." SBF spent approximately $135 on a prison tablet and has played the same game about 6,000 times. According to fellow inmate David Bunevacz, SBF stated that he would need $50 million to $100 million in startup capital to build his business after his release, claiming he would "issue his own new token, and everyone will flock to it," but Bunevacz added, "He was probably joking." SBF formally submitted his application for a presidential pardon on June 8, and his appeal was rejected on June 12. According to Polymarket, his chances of being pardoned are about 14%.
