He is know for having a very high interactivity rate with his views, commenting on almost ever post that is made.

Sam Bent authored a book called "Compassionate Release" which details in depth how to write a compassionate release motion as a federal prisoner.

The book was published on Amazon. 
=== Federal Prison ===
Prior to being a youtuber Sam Bent was a federal prisoner his federal prison ID number was 12189-082. He was a darknet vendor who was caught when his cousin Djeneba Bent did not follow the instructions he had given her through a information security and operation security program he had created and implemented. In turn this turned authorities on to the existence of Djeneba Bent as a shipper. The feds violated the law in opening a package, which had been the intent of Sam Bent. If they did this (which they did) he knew that the case would be thrown out. 
Before the case could get thrown out (Sam Bent got a "franks hearing", which is publicly available for viewing on Pacer. A franks hearing is when you can prove law enforcement broke the law). Before Sam Bent had a chance to go to the franks hearing his cousin Djeneba Bent it came out had been cooperating with federal agents. In turn Sam Bent signed a plea deal for a maximum of 108 months (9 years) in federal prison. 
In 2019 he was sentence to 60 months in prison. While he was in prison he taught himself federal criminal law, and the rules of federal procedure by studying law for 12 hours a day. He wrote his own motion to the federal court and after serving only 18 months litigated his way out of his federal prison sentence. 
Sam Bent's original release date was 1/3/2024.
