And finally… hold the LoLs

And finally... hold the LoLs

Disgraced crypto CEO Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) got a fresh slice of house-arrest purgatory after he was issued stricter bail requirements by prosecutors in the case against him.

The ex-FTX bigwig has been chilling in his parents’ $3.5 million (£2.8m) Palo Alto crib, penning Substack posts claiming “FTX US was and is solvent, likely with hundreds of millions of dollars in excess of customer balances,” and binging on his legendary love, League of Legends (LoL) — which he famously played during a fundraising Zoom call with Sequoia Capital.

Hold the LoLs though! The new bail conditions now prevent our gaming guru from playing anything with chat or voice features.

SBF has also been downgraded to a court-approved laptop, browsing a list of “pre-approved” websites, and his smartphone has been swapped for a vintage flip phone.
