Sam Bankman-Fried interviewed Tucker Carlson from prison. The former FTX CEO still thinks declaring bankruptcy was a bad decision, and the exchange would have $93 billion in assets from his investments.
Bankman-Fried’s answers showed that many of his beliefs have remained the same since 2022, but it’s important to remember his biases.
Sam Bankman-Fried’s First Video Interview From Prison
Today, Bankman-Fried sat down with Tucker Carlson for a new video interview covering a wide range of topics.
This time, however, he didn’t mention the pardon. When Carlson asked Bankman-Fried why his extensive political contributions didn’t help him avoid prison in 2022, he responded by talking about his disillusionment with the Democratic Party.
This aligns with statements made in his previous interview.
“One factor that might be relevant is, in 2020, I was center-left, and I gave a lot to Biden’s campaign. I was optimistic. By 2022, I was giving to Republicans, privately, as much as Democrats. That started becoming known right around FTX’s collapse. That probably played a role,” he claimed.
Other than that change, however, many of his crypto-related beliefs appear unchanged since the FTX collapse in 2022. For example, Carlson asked Bankman-Fried whether crypto crimes were bigger 10 years ago, and he replied that they were smaller, citing the Silk Road.
When asked if he had any liquid assets, Bankman-Fried talked about roads not taken.
“The company I used to own, had nothing intervened, today would have about $15 billion of liabilities and about $93 billion of assets. There was enough money to pay everyone back in kind at the time. Plenty of interest left over, and tens of billions left for investors. But that’s not how it worked out. It’s been a colossal disaster,” Bankman-Fried stated.
In other words, he doesn’t seem to think that his actions at FTX were wrong or fraudulent. Similarly, the Silk Road achieved widespread notoriety, but its transactions amounted to less than $200 million.
Meanwhile, crypto scams in 2025 can steal that much in one day. In other words, it’s important to remember his biases, especially since he is removed from the scene.
Carlson grilled Bankman-Fried on a few other topics, like whether crypto scams were tarnishing the industry’s reputation. For the most part, they talked about other topics, such as celebrities incarcerated with him, using muffins as “prison money,” Bankman-Fried’s upcoming birthday, etc.
Sui meme coins, not typically seen at the forefront of the sector, are surging in volume recently. Their market cap is far smaller than Solana meme coins, but it’s also growing fast.
LOFI, a meme coin deployed on the blockchain, surged by over 186% in a week. If fresh DEX trading volumes start flowing into these assets, Sui could be the next emerging ecosystem for meme coins.
Its design focuses on scalability, using parallel transaction processing and an object-centric transaction model to achieve this aim. Sui’s ecosystem is much less mature than Solana’s, but this could present opportunities for meme coins.
Sui’s developers are constantly working on upgrades to encourage new projects, some of which are explicitly geared towards meme coins. Solana’s 6.3 billion meme coin market cap grew by 2.4% in the previous 24 hours, while Sui’s increased by 4.6%.
LOFI grew 184.5% in the last week, highlighting its dedicated community.
Don’t call it a $LOFI comeback. I never lost conviction. The first run was just shy of $300M.
The $SUI ecosystem is growing like crazy. Remember, the Phantom integration will be huge for SUI projects.
LOFI’s impressive rise stands out, but several other projects on the layer-1 network have also attracted speculative interest. Meme coins thrive on community hype, and the blockchain’s DEX volumes are soaring.
If this high performance and committed enthusiasm connect with fresh investors, it could present an explosive opportunity.
For now, Sui’s meme coin ecosystem has a ways to go, with a total market cap of $123 million. However, this sector moves fast, and the Sui ecosystem could be poised to make some major growth soon, if meme coin enthusiasts continue to trade.
