Sam Bankman-Fried’s Stanford law professor parents continue to do everything they can for their embattled son, and that includes buying him a German Shepherd to keep him company and to bolster his safety as he remains stuck in their home on house arrest.

The dog is named Sandor, and he was with Bankman-Friend when he greeted a writer for Puck at his parents’ home near the Stanford campus earlier this month. Bankman-Fried “certainly is a young man in need of both defense and a friend,” Theodore Schleifer wrote. He explained how Joseph Bankman and Barbara Fried, the parents of the disgraced FTX founder, are paying for 24-hour security around their house and purchased the dog soon after their son was released on a $250 million bond.
