Will SBF as from now provide cryptotips to cell mate P Diddy?

Just as Bitcoin and the rest of the crypto coins got off to a very bad start of ‘uptober’ (the crypto nickname for October), traditionally the best month of the year due to a missile strike by Iran, other more entertaining news hits the cryptosphere.

Sam Bankman-Fried welcomes a new cellmate. His name is P Diddy. We’re already wondering if he’ll recommend Diddy to buy Solana, just like he told the prison guards earlier this year.

FTX

Sam Bankman-Fried and his former crypto platform FTX are once again allover the news (just this weekend, FTT rose by 80% in a day after a online rumor about a possible FTX refund went viral).

On top of this, the New York Times reported last week that notorious rapper P Diddy is now a cellmate to SBF. Meanwhile SBF’s ex Caroline Ellison was sentenced a few days ago to a 2-year prison sentence (even though she had previously testified against SBF in his lawsuit back in 2023).

That means several other FTX executives whose lawsuits are still pending should be getting quite nervous. If a New York judge is willing to sentence the star witness against SBF to two years in prison, you can assume that other FTX managers will probably also end up there.

At the same time, Sam Bankman-Fried’s cell is becoming a gathering place for celebrities it seems, now that rapper P Diddy also shares a dormitory bed in the Brooklyn prison.

We can assume that the two have indeed already met as Diddy’s team announced yesterday that they have hired Alexandra Shapiro to defend the rapper on the charges against him. Shapiro is the former lawyer of… yes you guessed it right, Sam Bankman-Fried.
