Sam Bankman-Fried, co-founder and former CEO of FTX, has been transferred from the violent medium-security facility in Victorville, California, dubbed 'Victimville', to the low-security Federal Correctional Institution Terminal Island in Los Angeles. His transfer follows his 25-year sentence for defrauding users of the FTX exchange. At Terminal Island, inmates report a more positive environment, with better food and surroundings. The facility, which has housed notorious figures like Al Capone, provides access to law libraries and various vocational training programs, although some inmates criticize the medical care. Bankman-Fried's new prison mates include convicted fraudsters from various industries. His transfer is seen as part of ongoing efforts related to his mental health and appeal against his conviction, reflecting the shifting public perception of the FTX scandal over time.
