Now SBF is on house arrest and being meeting with movie Director and author Michael Lewis to make a movie about him. This makes sense he is going to need all the money he can get for his legal case...
"Amid death threats and sudden global infamy, accused FTX fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried and his parents have turned their posh Stanford home into a heavily guarded fortress. The family is shelling out roughly $10,000 a week to have a private Bay Area security firm patrol the leafy, 3,000-square-foot residence with several armed guards working around the clock" -

Well, it's the US so I doubt that someone has the audacity to that to them, so this is just a exaggeration on their part to have this private guards that can rival even the President? Lol,
They are really paranoid as this point, and that is the consequences of SBF actions, now he is afraid of his own life and his family too.
About the movie deal though, yeah, probably it will make a lot of money for him and he really needed every help he can get.
