"Originally placed under house arrest, he was sent to jail in August for violations of his bail conditions, including using a VPN to watch a football game and leaking the diary entries of his ex-girlfriend"

Ok I get the diary, that's shitty...but using a VPN to watch football? That's a normal Saturday afternoon.

Not when you could be also using that vpn to communicate with people without them knowing

He also got caught sending some cryptic messages to someone saying something along the lines of getting their stories straight.

He said he had concluded that Mr. Bankman-Fried’s communication with the media and a separate attempt to contact a former FTX employee were intended to “intimidate or also to influence” witnesses in the case.

When you've got bail conditions on the order of roughly a lifetime's income riding on not using a VPN, I think you can skip football for a while.

leaking the diary entries of his ex-girlfriend

August 4th
Dear diary, I have tried once again in vain to get Sam to get a decent haircut. In the movie of your life you're going to be played by Jesse Eisenberg, the least you could do is move over to his default haircut. It's only courteous.

Unless he listens not.

He can claim it was to watch football, doesn't mean it was.
