Tiffany Fong, the YouTuber who interviewed disgraced FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried when he was under investigation in November for the collapse of his cryptocurrency exchange, has blasted the way right-leaning tabloids “sexualized” her in their coverage of her late-night visit to his parents’ Palo Alto home where he is under house arrest.
Fong confirmed Wednesday that she had visited Bankman-Fried Tuesday night, with The Daily Mail and the New York Post quoting her as saying that he “remains surprisingly optimistic, although aware of (the gravity of his situation).” She was referring to the potential maximum 115-year prison sentence he faces if convicted on fraud and money laundering charges. The Palo Alto-reared ex-billionaire was arrested on Dec. 12 in the Bahamas, where FTX was headquartered.
