Sam Bankman-Fried is moving to a new prison facility, The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday. 

Federal officials initiated the prison transfer early Wednesday, a representative for Bankman-Fried told the WSJ. The spokesperson “couldn’t confirm” the FTX founder’s destination, but sources familiar with the matter believe the former executive is relocating to a prison in Mendota, California, the publication reported. 

The move comes several weeks after federal prosecutors recommended that Bankman-Fried be moved to a low-security facility in California, close to his parents’ home in Palo Alto. In April, the FTX founder expressed a desire to stay at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, a mixed-security facility in New York, to remain close to the lawyers working on his appeal. 

As of this writing, it is unclear if Bankman-Fried has already left MDC Brooklyn or whether he has reached his new facility. 

A representative for Bankman-Fried did not immediately respond to The Block’s request for comment. 

Bankman-Fried first went to prison early last year when Judge Kaplan of the Southern District of New York revoked his bail for witness tampering. Bankman-Fried is serving a 25-year sentence , which Judge Kaplan handed down on March 28.
