“His interview was apparently ‘not approved’ by the Bureau of Prisons, the New York Times reported.”
Then how the hell did it happen at all?
A lot of questions here.
Thanks! I'd like to know that too. I think it's BS. Somebody working at that prison had to put the two of them together, either in person at the prison or on the phone. Inmates aren't allowed personal phones or computers. The Bureau of Prisons should be reporting who allowed this without their approval, but it's likely they're protecting that person, and punishing Bankman-Fried instead. While inmates in State prisons have phone access on their units or in the yard to call who they want, all phone calls are monitored, and can be recorded as well. I doubt Bankman-Fried is allowed to walk around his unit, and use a phone whenever he likes, or he'd be doing more interviews, and we haven't heard about any of them.
