The founder of an infamous cryptocurrency exchange that filed for bankruptcy last year could be prohibited from playing League of Legends<\/em>.<\/p>
Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of FTX, is currently “confined to his parents’ home in Palo Alto, California,” according to Reuters<\/a>. But his lawyers are trying to reach an agreement with New York prosecutors, according to a Business Insider report on March 29<\/a>. If the deal comes to fruition, he will be forbidden from playing any video games that “permit chat or voice communication.”<\/p>
Under the proposed conditions, Bankman-Fried will also be prohibited from using any mobile devices with access to the internet, while having a limited selection of websites he can access from his computer. These websites include Zoom<\/a>, YouTube, Wikipedia, Spotify, and Netflix.<\/p>
Bankman-Fried is a huge League of Legends<\/em> fan. While running FTX, which filed for bankruptcy in November 2022, he was known for playing League <\/em>during meetings<\/a>. Managing himself on Summoner’s Rift while also speaking to investors didn’t stop him from reportedly securing over $200 million in funding, which was lost shortly after.<\/p>
