I am an attorney and have served time in prison. I witnessed inmates spending every moment inside the prison library accessing computers and combing through court decisions. These inmates hold themselves out as jailhouse lawyers. The law library is their sanctuary where they search for ways to get released but also prey on other inmates who look to them for their freedom.

Bankman-Fried is currently serving 25 years in prison for misappropriating funds at the crypto exchange he founded, FTX, which was once valued at over $30 billion. The company's collapse stands as the largest fraud in the crypto industry, and led to an extended period of stagnation for the sector. While in prison, Bankman-Fried has crossed paths with several celebrity inmates and is giving them his two cents on what they should do in court.
