FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried is struggling to maintain his vegan diet while in jail, according to a letter written by an ex-NYPD officer also behind bars. The officer, Carmine Simpson, pleaded for leniency on Bankman-Fried's behalf, highlighting his commitment to not participating in the maltreatment of animals. Simpson initially doubted Bankman-Fried's motivations but later came to see him as a selfless individual. Bankman-Fried's attorney has argued that a 100-year prison term would be "grotesque" and is pushing for a sentence of 6.5 years. Bankman-Fried's parents have also written letters to the judge expressing their grief.
