SBF Secretly Transferred to Oklahoma Prison After Shocking Tucker Carlson Jail Interview

Disgraced crypto kingpin Sam Bankman-Fried abruptly relocated from New York lockup following unauthorized prison interview.

In a dramatic twist worthy of a Netflix true crime doc, convicted crypto conman Sam Bankman-Fried has been whisked away from Brooklyn’s notorious Metropolitan Detention Center to a federal prison transfer hub in Oklahoma City — just weeks after his surprise jailhouse interview with Tucker Carlson aired.

The 33-year-old fallen FTX founder, sentenced in 2023 to 25 years for orchestrating an $8 billion fraud, was reportedly yanked from his cell without warning around 3 a.m. on Wednesday, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Prison officials gave no explanation and offered no clue about his destination.

He was moved to the FTC Oklahoma City, a transit facility used to shuffle inmates across the country, according to federal prison records made public Thursday.

The timing of the transfer has raised eyebrows.

It came shortly after Bankman-Fried appeared in a video call interview with ex-Fox News host Tucker Carlson, in which he opened up about life behind bars — and even shared details of his unlikely friendship with fellow inmate Sean “Diddy” Combs.

“He’s been kind to me,” Bankman-Fried said in the March 6 interview.

“You only see one side of someone in here.

This place crushes souls.

Nobody wants to be here — not him, not me.”

The unauthorized interview reportedly landed SBF in solitary confinement — a punishment that may have preceded his sudden relocation.

Neither the Bureau of Prisons nor his legal team have commented on the move.

The interview was part of what insiders say is Bankman-Fried’s desperate bid to attract public sympathy and possibly secure a pardon — reportedly from former President Donald Trump.

Whether the stunt helps or further sinks his future remains to be seen.

But for now, the crypto fraudster is in transit limbo, far from the limelight — and far from his once-lofty throne atop the digital finance world.
