Furthermore, another source stated that he is using fish as currency, for payments for services like the haircut a fellow inmate gave him before his court case.
SBF Having To Adjust To Prison Lifestyle
Recent reports indicate that SBF has adopted mackerel as a form of currency, making it the new commodity akin to cigarettes within prison environments. Additionally, according to one source, SBF is providing crypto tips to the prison guards.
Furthermore, SBF is reportedly receiving his “desired Adderall dosage,” which is medication known to treat ADHD. Additionally, he is allegedly receiving his preferred vegetarian meals.
