    The crypto enthusiast, charged with tax evasion, says he is having a ‘fascinating time’ in Spanish jail—and is sharing his cell with a drug dealer

    The crypto enthusiast’s wife, Janice, said on Twitter that he was in “good spirits” despite being in detention—and that he had this message for his followers: “Hello from prison my friends. I am having a fascinating time. Spanish prison is not that bad. We can wear whatever clothes we want. We can smoke and socialize. It’s like the Hilton without turn down service.”
