Former Mt. Gox CEO, Mark Karpelès, seems unsympathetic towards Sam Bankman-Fried, former FTX CEO, who is requesting release from prison to prepare for his trial due to poor internet access. Karpelès, recalling his own arrest in 2015, mentioned using a simple calculator as his computing power. He spent 11 months and 15 days in pre-trial detention, without access to evidence until later. Karpelès managed his situation by creating an index of the evidence using folders and stickers, all squeezed into an eight-page file. Initially considering an abacus, he was fortunate to have been allowed to use a calculator for accounting purposes. Spending $120 on the best calculator available, Karpelès was eventually cleared of all charges thanks to this little device and the work of his lawyers. Bankman-Fried, who is facing 12 criminal charges, recently requested his release from prison due to poor internet access hindering trial preparation.
