Sam Bankman-Fried: 10 Things to Do BEFORE Going To Federal Prison

A journalist writing a piece about White Collar Advice asked me to offer some things Sam Bankman-Fried should not do in federal prison. I told him I wasn’t going to do it. He laughed and asked again!
"He has yet to plead guilty or be convicted. Maybe he will prevail at trial," I said.
"Justin, please. Just give me the content!!!"
"No," I said, "but I will offer you 10 things he should do BEFORE he goes to federal prison. Deal?!"
"FINE!" he said.
I share those 10 things in this video. I am sure there are a million more things I could have covered...
Best,

Thanks! I'm not going to prison, but I need to put some of these suggestions into practice on the outside! More exercise, writing, book reports, etc. Blessings!!

[@adrianjanssens7116]

I was about to write a similar comment. Good advice (maybe not the bright lights during sleep) but the others are like a retreat from day to day which can be refreshing. Mr. Paperny is helping more than just crooks. He was one and look how well he is doing now. Hope demonstrated by real life.

Greetings from Lake Tahoe! Interesting KZbin content is getting harder to find. This was very interesting and unique. I’ve been thinking about writing and I will start this week! Thank you very much I will subscribe.

Great stuff! I enjoy your videos.

Thank you!

I had to laugh when you suggested SBF take cold showers, that being an invigorating thing to do. Some 55 years ago I was a PC Volunteer in the boondocks of West Africa. My drinking and bathing water came from rainwater that ran off a tin roof of my mud hut into a barrel. The water was cold and I “showered” by absorbing water into a sponge and then squeezing the sponge over my head. Invigorating, as you say, and I grew to like it. I thought I would take cold showers when I returned to the States. But I never did.

[@Ginyu]

SBF looks like he puts away a lot of pizza rolls and hot pockets.

[@WhiteCollarAdviceOfficial]

So did I. Going through a government investigation can be very depressing without the appropriate plan. Many people, including me, make bad choices they later come to regret.

[@Ginyu]

@@WhiteCollarAdviceOfficial I'm that way myself. one thing you said about privacy and reading stood out to me. I did 3 months in county jail in 1990 and I had work release split for a mail route twice a day so I slept during the day when everyone was gone and at night would go into the bathroom and read while they were all sleeping and snoring. Just a little some I could relate to. Thanks for the video and hope I never need to use this advice lol.

[@calendarpage]

I've been retired for a few years. I had all these plans, then covid, then some health issues. So I haven't done as much as I've wanted. Before I retired, I made a list of books I wanted to read, and I've read quite a few, but if you asked me about them, I could probably give you 3 sentences. Writing a book report is a good idea for anyone who has a lot of unstructured time and actually wants to read with purpose, so thanks for the suggestion. "Learn to endure heartache and pain." Dude, I went to Catholic school for 12 years. I'm good. 😄

[@WhiteCollarAdviceOfficial]

Great message. Thanks for sharing. Hope you are well and feeling strong! 💪

If the last person SBF was with was Caroline Ellison before serving his lifetime prison sentence, then he must be very depressed.

1. Take cold showers. 2. Ween yourself off devices. 3. Skip meals. 4. Practice sleeping under lights. 5. Keep yo mouth shut! 6. Stop bad health habits! 7. Start writing more! ✍️ 8. Write a book report. 9. Write a going away letter. 10. Exercise BEFORE incarnation.

Interesting video, thank-you.

[@WhiteCollarAdviceOfficial]

You're welcome.

[@DrSchor]

Here is what this video made me realize: In the real world, you have to go to work every day at the same time and do and learn what you are told. After work and on weekends you have to schlep your kids around and remind yourself of how to teach them algebra. You have to worry about how to manage your budget and where to invest. You have to do what your wife wants, including sex on demand ("don't be silly, men are always in the mood" she says). You have to go to church on Sunday and are obligated to show up for Yom Kipper and knock yourself out putting on a Sedar every year, no excuse allowed. Camping with the Boy Scouts is fun, right, but what 45 year old wants to become exhausted by spending Saturday night sleeping on the ground in the cold and the rain, cleaning and putting away the gear, and going to work on Monday? You have to take care of the house and lawn. Justin, you have yet to learn that a vacation to Disney with the kids is an expensive debilitating ordeal. You are not free at all, if you take time for yourself you are heavily criticized for being lazy. You have already explained how you stress eat, don't exercise and become fat and out of shape. How are you compensated for those chains?: Merely a warm shower, and darkness at night. Hardly worth it. In prison, you have no responsibilities. You can be alone and concentrate on yourself, your exercise, your reading, your self improvement. You have an automatic widely accepted excuse to be clear of life's obligations. You get free meals, free room , free health care, free exercise, time to read what you want and write. Feel great about yourself by losing weight, getting ripped, and learning what interests you. Nearly the only price to be paid is you can't have a snack anytime you want. Tell me, Justin, in your reply, what is not to like? You are a prime example of how anyone can be productive , enjoy the prison journey, and come out better for it. Summary: If you think prison is onerous, try genuine life. My new goal: Take your advice and follow your very excellent example to get caught in a White Collar crime, lie to the FBI to ensure a beneficial and satisfying prison travel adventure. Then become a coach. Note to self: Buy a big microphone and bright white earbuds for show on youtube

I am betting Liz Holmes is fighting to stay out of prison because she will not have access to an iphone instead of her children.

[@sandyfoot]

I’m not going to prison (unless the govt have plans for me I am not aware of because of my thoughts). I think we all need to follow this advice to prepare for the coming economic and energy crisis. It’s relevant for everyone. We have a survival task ahead. Thank you for your ideas.

[@edlaccohee9173]

Loved it, thank you. I heard he (SBF) wasn't a great reader, let's see if this changes things... Your wisdom is appreciated :)

[@WhiteCollarAdviceOfficial]

I became a great reader in prison-wish I started earlier. He should learn from my failures, if what you wrote is true.

[@joshpeasley8310]

Hi, Do you know if they still quarantine new inmates in the shu at intake?

[@WhiteCollarAdviceOfficial]

Depends on prison

[@back2d_lobby]

Easy to remember good advice.

[@ladyeowyn42]

I haven’t been to prison but I grew up very poor and sometimes homeless. Hunger and cold showers, unhygienic conditions, bad sleeping conditions, abuse. Have you ever asked an inmate who grew up very poor to compare the two experiences?

[@WhiteCollarAdviceOfficial]

Yes. They say prison was much better.

[@fulanichild3138]

That is such a great point. I think if we could eradicate poverty, a much lower imprisonment rate would follow.

[@PungiFungi]

@@WhiteCollarAdviceOfficial hence I think some people deliberately commit crimes to GET INTO prison.

[@helpyourcattodrive]

@@WhiteCollarAdviceOfficial yes, I grew up in a crazy house with a single mom who was just into neglect for whatever reason. she didn’t mean it. I found juvenile hall better than home.

[@duggysduggys5505]

Not going to prison but I should implement some of these. I’ve got some of that “Powerless” feeling - overweight/out of shape as a result.

[@CEDesigns]

I’m anxious to hear your interview with Lindsie Chrisley. The family seems to be in total denial of their transgressions. Please don’t gloss over why they are in jail in the first place. They still say they are innocent! They need your advice; your tough advice. Own their actions. I hope you are in a position give it to them straight. They are NOW interested in prison reform? Only because it’s self-serving. Very privileged. Rubs me the wrong way. It’s good to shed light on this issue, of course, but Todd, Julie, et al, had no interest in prison life before THEIR sentencing. If I may, your interview with client Jen Shah was disappointing. I wanted you to yell at her(okay, not yell, but possibly be a bit more aggressive) and have her admit to her bad past behavior and own it. You always mention this as important, yet Shah didn’t elaborate on her past awful behavior and impact on victims. I know she was/is your client, and I think that was obvious in the interview. You’re too nice Keep up the good work!

[@WhiteCollarAdviceOfficial]

Thank you for your honest feedback. To the Chrisleys, I, too, didn’t care about reform until I was in prison. To Jen, my job, as her coach, was to help her create a plan moving forward. Can’t change the past. She said she’s sorry, understands she created victims. Don’t know what else to do but look forward and hold her accountable. I hope you like my interview with Lindsie. She’s terrific and she never complains.

[@ktmguy64]

They didn’t accept responsibility, crying about how tough a camp is, her kids and mother in law needs her, blah blah! U stole $30 million and as judges say..”you should have thought about your family before u commit the crime!”

[@jw8285]

You have no idea what the facts are of this case so to say they are guilty is wrong. To read garbage papers who spew lies, don’t believe everything you read.

[@thefrener794]

​@@jw8285 There are only lies if not true.

[@not_glad]

Waking up early is great outside prison too. I get up at 5am and you get a few hours of peace before all the other twats wake up 😂

[@lornarettig3215]

As a night owl, I get my peace once everyone else has gone to bed 😉

[@njcanuck]

Surprised you didn't mention: get your affairs in order - write a will, power of attorney and personal directive; organize your finances; think about how you will get supplies into prison. Liquidate your stuff Think about longevity of these arrangements. Parents will pass before you are finished a long term.

[@WhiteCollarAdviceOfficial]

[@pete6705]

I think not being able to use a phone or computer is going to be the hardest thing for SBF. Most people are addicted to their devices, but I think Sam is on another level. His whole life is looking at a screen. Taking away his devices would be like taking water from a fish.

[@davidbainbridge6401]

Just watched "Big Stan", I'll be well prepared!🥺

[@rjeckardt8863]

Great advice, and a great piece! Now about the Bank not-Free'd Man Crook: 6 months later...he's in jail and complaining about his Vegan diet, living on bread, peanut butter, and water, and that there's a 'shaky internet connection.' No video games, WTF? The poor thing can't even have his circus hair stylist come in and clown-up his hairdo, etc. I feel so, so, so happy, oops, I mean, sorry, for the dude. I'm being as diplomatic as I can be. ~

[@helpyourcattodrive]

Interesting.

[@whitewave16]

Will you a video about Alex Murdaugh too?

[@user-uc7lr6hm7p]

Sam should get at minimum 50 yrs in prison so when he gets out he will be to old to enjoy money he has stashed away and he's parents should pass away by then , and most of the money he has stashed will be gone do to by then the other cons where he has his stolen money stashed will go bankrupt by then and also be in prison or on the run

[@tod3msn]

Sadly, Sam seems to be on the runway for a long spell in federal prison. He will be going to federal prison for at least 10 years. I wouldn't wish this on anyone but it seems to be his fate.

[@WhiteCollarAdviceOfficial]

10 years would be a gift.

[@Confuciussaysstartatsquareone]

He’ll link up and be fine. Stop it

i hope the inmates will educate him about respect and some have families who lost money due to this fraud of Sam his mother and father should be punished as well! never let him out ! Jail his parents as well!!

[@joelvig]

I won't get mad I promise. but going over the guidelines i think he's looking at 65 years minimum.

[@devilfamily8491]

better just do all in reverse! for the last time! after that it's 115 to 155 years! in prison, but we guess over $20billion can last! by the time he come out of jail he will be 145 to 185 years old!

[@kolar]

Step 1: Get a haircut. The 'girls' will love those curls.

Honest to god what a load of nonsense. If I was gonna spend at least 20+ years in prison i would drink, smoke and have lawful sex with as many people as i can. Listening to this advice is akin to thinking - I’m gonna die one day so I’m stopping everything now. I love your channel but on this occasion i think you’r talking nonsense. Love and best wishes from the UK.

[@WhiteCollarAdviceOfficial]

A lot of guys I met in prison followed your suggestion: drank, smoke, eat, etc. It didn’t go as well. There prison term was harder. Maybe better choices is not a sacrifice. Well, for some it is. It’s a matter of values. Good to hear from you.
