The Bureau of Prisons has transferred former crypto mogul Sam Bankman-Fried out of a detention center in Brooklyn, New York, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.

Bankman-Fried was moved from MDC-Brooklyn to Oklahoma, a transfer point, on his way to another federal lockup to continue serving his 25-year sentence for orchestrating one of the biggest financial frauds in U.S. history.

Bankman-Fried transfer comes after he conducted an unauthorized videoconference interview with Tucker Carlson, which temporarily landed him in solitary confinement.
