People are perplexed by this curious courtroom caricature of Sam Bankman-Fried.
Don't get us wrong, it looks great. Too great. It's nearly Bankman-bereft.
For real though can I hire this courtroom portrait artist pic.twitter.com/oD4XFeOehu

Seriously, folks. We've all seen the chunky-cheeked crypto con man.
That. Ain't. Him.
The dude looks like a Cabbage Patch Kid in real life, tho.

THANK YOU! That's what we're saying! LOL.
This doesn't pass the smell test, but the responses are still funny.
Is this sketch artist on SBF's payroll? https://t.co/vo2gLVtX66

Now somebody's making sense.
I think the same guy did this one of me arriving at jury selection for a lawsuit. pic.twitter.com/zVUR9VgvT2

Ha! If you know, you know.

Some portrait artists are kinder than others, we guess?

Nailed it.

That's how it be.
It’s like the inverse of a caricature.

Yes, I’m saying that SBF is a living caricature portrait. https://t.co/prTfE9UdIr
WHOA! He's right!

We found our winner!
The Reuters artist had a decidedly different take on the subject. pic.twitter.com/mAyBXvCJ5F

There's quite a difference between 'Mega Chad Bankman-Fried' and 'Has Had the Ring of Power for 40 Years Bankman-Fried'.
Apparently Bankman-Fried turned into a hotdog https://t.co/cSn8r20RQb pic.twitter.com/nWErYr6PZ1

He's come a long way from this rendition published by Axios. LOL.
I could only afford to hire the dude who did this one: pic.twitter.com/hZr7tXGmH1

Yeah, courtroom portrait artists are not usually this kind. Brady looks sort of … deflated.
This isn’t real is it?
— Robert Jank (@RobertPJank) October 31, 2023
So … we're doubtful.
Talk about a "sketch" artist https://t.co/FWmtzu5Vt8

The whole thing is sketchy.
This is the normal courtroom sketch artist Sam Bankman-Fried looking back, wishing he was the Chad Bankman-Fried.
One person said he lost money investing in the FTX crypto exchange co-founded by Bankman-Fried. Another said his knowledge of cryptocurrency came from a celebrity podcaster. By the end of jury selection, the pool of qualified jurors was down to 50 people. https://t.co/vIRFa1WZaq

Our verdict?
We really, really, REALLY wish it was real, but we can't find the source anywhere.
We're thinking it's a 'no', but it's still hilarious, and we can always hope.
