“Sam isn’t exactly going to be somebody that fits into prison,” said Shkreli, offering advice that included “shaving his head” to remove his recognizable voluminous curly hair and “deepening his voice,” because prison was “a very testosterone-filled, masculine place.”
Bankman-Fried would “have a lot of issues,” Shkreli explained, “because he’s a bit of an effeminate guy,” and has an “autistic sort of sense, or sensibility,” which was “not something that goes over well in prison.”
“He also doesn’t know anything about the streets and sort of criminal culture,” he continued, and he needed to “pick those things up as quickly as he can.”
“He should be listening to as much rap music as possible. He should be trying to learn everything there is to know about gangs, about the tough neighborhoods in every city,” Shkreli said. “This sounds funny, but this could save your life.”
[Or it could end it. Bankman-Fried is likely heading to a medium-security prison anyway … or a no-extradition life on the run. Bet on the latter. — Ed]
