Sam Bankman-Fried is going to be transferred from a New York lock-up to one in California, against his wishes, according to a report.
The convicted crypto-cook – who is appealing his 25-year prison sentence – is in the process of leaving Brooklyn Federal Metropolitan Detention Center for a prison in Mendota, California, sources told the Wall Street Journal.
Bankman-Fried, 32, wanted to remain in the Big Apple so he could help prepare his appeal of the conviction that found he stole $8 billion from customers of the now-defunct FTX cryptocurrency exchange.
