Fong managed to obtain the image from the only inmate in the photo whose face is not obscured. In the picture, Bankman-Fried appears scruffy and slightly slimmer than before, but what’s particularly intriguing is his expression.
Despite his circumstances, Bankman-Fried doesn’t seem particularly scared or worried. Instead, he wears the same exact expression, giving off an air of confusion as if he’s unsure of where he is or why he’s there.
