Zhu, who was arrested in Singapore last September for failing to cooperate with investigations into the collapse of his crypto hedge fund, commended the prison experience in video clips he shared on Tuesday on X, formerly Twitter.
“Obviously no one wants to go to prison,” Zhu said in the clips, which he said are part of an upcoming podcast. “But I think that it’s actually a really enjoyable experience overall.”
Although he is “not to the point of highly recommending it per se … it’s something that if everyone got to experience once, I think it’s definitely good for you,” Zhu said.
Among the benefits of his jail time were improved sleep, he added, owing to the mandatory lights-off time from 9.30pm to 5.30am and no access to the internet, alcohol or caffeine.
