Sam Bankman-Fried appeared Tuesday at a hearing in the Bahamas with his parents in attendance, according to multiple reports, including from The New York Times and the cryptocurrency site CoinDesk.
At the hearing, which largely focused on whether Bankman-Fried would be released on bail, the former FTX CEO indicated that he was not waiving his right to challenge his extradition to the US, the CoinDesk report said. The site, which was reporting live from Nassau in the Bahamas, broke the news in November of the financial links between FTX and Bankman-Fried's trading firm, Alameda Research.
During the proceedings, Bankman-Fried's mother, Barbara Fried, laughed when her son was called a "fugitive," reported CoinDesk, which described his parents as showing both "dejection and defiance." She also "clenched her jaw and chewed on the frames of her glasses," The Times reported.
His father, Joseph Bankman, "occasionally put his fingers in his ears as if to drown out the sound of the proceedings," CoinDesk said.

These 'parents' 100% back this sociopath.
I cannot wait to hear them recieve consequences.
I am mildly surprised his mom is not named Karen
“These ‘parents’ 100% back this sociopath.”
Typical Democrats.
He stole from heavyweights so he’s in trouble. The parents sound like dumbbells in denial.
“Barbara Fried, laughed”
The Judge probably really appreciated that.
And now you know why he is a sociopath, his parents taught him to be one. They belong in Prison with him

Indeed. Totally in denial. And I would suspect the parents are involved in the financial shenanigans as SBF apparently purchased several vacation homes in the Bahamas in their name.
The whole of FTX looks like it operated as if there are no laws governing financial transactions. They just did whatever they wanted to do with the money clients gave them.
Maybe the parents are sociopaths too and this little nut didn’t fall far from the tree?
Bailiff, whack her pee-pee!
I think the parents are in on this up to their eyeballs. The kid just isn’t bright enough to have put this together.
He’s clearly a front. Sadly, this ugly kid was on magazine covers because it was the best they could do.
Cheech, is that you??
the PARENTS should be ARRESTEDALSO!!! If for nothing else but RAISING A PHYSCOPATH!!!!
I got the same vibe. He seems fairly dumb and not even charming enough to pull off a scam.
DUMBELLS??? No, they are DEMOCRAT LAW PROFESSORS!!
Did the parents profit from the last 3 years of FTX?
Anyone have their PICTURES!!
Speed freaks don't age well. They have lots of fun during their long trail of wreckage, chaos, and thousands of things half done.
Concurring bump...its been reported that the father was a paid consultant for FTX and the mother handled FTX political contributions. Both have their names on deeds of FTX bought properties in Bahamas.
“DUMBELLS??? No, they are DEMOCRAT LAW PROFESSORS!!”
OK, I amend my statement to really stupid dumbbells then. I think they are in legal trouble too.
