Sam Bankman-Fried ‘surprisingly optimistic’ at meeting with sexy crypto influencer Tiffany Fong
December 28, 2022
FTX bad boy Sam Bankman-Fried’s cushy house arrest was brightened up Tuesday by a visit from a sexy single crypto influencer who said he seemed “surprisingly optimistic” ahead of his trial on multiple fraud charges, The Post has learned.
Sources said Tiffany Fong stayed late into the night during her trip to see the accused fraudster— currently holed up at his mom and dad’s house in Stanford, Calif. — who has been federally charged in what is shaping up to be one of the biggest financial scandals in history.
Fong, 26, who specializes in crypto content, was the first person FTX founder Bankman-Fried opened up to about his rumored polyamorous sex life in a phone call which was first published in November.
However, when contacted by The Post she said she had met the ankle-monitored former billionaire in the home’s library and their chat was strictly business.
Fong said Bankman-Fried “seemed similar to how he always is,” adding he “remains surprisingly optimistic, although aware of [the gravity of his situation],” referring to the jail sentence of up to 115 years he faces if convicted on all charges.
“He doesn’t seem to want to talk too much about worst case scenarios,” she added.
Bankman-Fried was arrested in the Bahamas, where he had been running the FTX crypto exchange before its collapse, on Dec. 12. He was the jailed for a week in the country’s notorious rat-infested Fox Hill prison before agreeing to be extradited back to the US.
