A fake courtroom sketch of Sam Bankman-Fried got brought up by Donald Trump Jr. as he asked his own artist to make him 'look sexy,' per a Reuters report.
Disgraced crypto mogul Sam Bankman-Fried had a brief respite from the degradation of his jury trial this week, when a fake portrait of him in the style of a courtroom sketch went viral, depicting him with strong features, spiky hair and a chiseled jawline. The flattering portrayal attracted at least one notable fan: Donald Trump Jr. The former president's oldest son has also been in a New York courtroom this week, testifying in a civil fraud suit over his family’s real estate business.
The so-called drawing, barely recognizable as Bankman-Fried but labeled by blue-checked accounts on X as a “courtroom sketch” from his trial, began circulating alongside jokes about the overly attractive portrayal of the infamously scruffy former executive. The image got an extra boost thanks to a response from Elon Musk. With cameras not allowed in Bankman-Fried’s courtroom, followers of the saga have relied on the courtroom sketches by Rosenberg and others to envision the scene.
