‘Dirtbag’ Sam Bankman-Fried is ‘worse than Madoff’ but likely won’t stand trial, Pirro says

Bankman-Fried is free on $250 million bond and must live in his parents’ home in California as he waits trial

Disgraced cryptocurrency investor Sam Bankman-Fried is worse than infamous Ponzi schemer Bernard Madoff, but is unlikely to stand trial, Judge Jeanine Pirro said on “The Five” Thursday.

A New York judge ruled Thursday that Bankman-Fried can post $250 million bond and live in his parents’ home in California as he awaits trial on fraud charges. Pirro said there is likely a good reason the U.S. government appeared slightly tardy in arresting SBF, after he was initially detained and jailed in the Bahamas.

Pirro, who once served as Republican district attorney in the county where Bankman-Fried landed, said the feds clearly wanted to levy charges against Bankman-Fried’s ex-girlfriend Caroline Ellison and former FTX CTO Zixiao “Gary” Wang before going after the disgraced investor.

“The feds clearly wanted to get these two to plead guilty to very similar charges. They had to meet the conditions of the plea deal. The conditions of the plea deal are that they testify and cooperate with the feds in incriminating Sam Bankman-Fried,” she said on “The Five.”
