Disgraced Sam Bankman-Fried's parents have bought him a German Shepherd puppy to cheer him up – as they desperately try to figure out how to pay his security and legal fees.
The 30-year-old FTX boss is spending time with his new pup Sandor while holed-up at dad John Bankman and mom Barbara Fried's $4 million Palo Alto home.
John and Barbara - former Stanford Law School professors - are now said to be wracking their brains to work out a way of paying their son's legal fees, as well as security hired to protect their home.
They're believed to accept Bankman-Fried's protestations of innocence on a $1.8 billion crypto currency scam, and have bought Sandor to cheer their son up - and also as a means of protecting him.
The alleged fraudster was reportedly 'closely advised' by his father John Bankman when he launched hedge fund Alameda Research in 2017.
