Now serving a 25-year sentence, the 32-year-old is being held at Federal Correctional Institution Victorville Medium II a facility known for housing violent offenders and a history of inmate-on-guard assaults.
Transfer Follows Solitary Confinement Over Media Interview
Bankman-Frieds transfer comes after a brief stint at a federal transfer center in Oklahoma and more than 18 months at Brooklyns Metropolitan Detention Center. His move was reportedly prompted by disciplinary action stemming from an unauthorized interview with journalist Tucker Carlson.
During the conversation, Bankman-Fried shared details of daily life inside the Brooklyn facility, which led to a period of solitary confinement as punishment for violating media protocols.
FCI Victorvilles Reputation Raises Safety Concerns
FCI Victorville has long been viewed as one of the more volatile federal prisons in the country. In recent years, multiple incidents of violence have been reported including a 2017 attack that left several guards injured and resulted in the prison warden being hospitalized.
