Sam Bankman-Fried Gets a 25-Year Sentence

FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried was sentenced Thursday to 25 years in prison for fraud tied to the collapse of his digital exchange.

Less than two years ago, Bankman-Fried was the crypto king. He hung around with heads of state, had a $30 million penthouse in the Caribbean and vowed to use his wealth to better humanity.

Last year, a jury found the 32-year-old guilty of stealing billions of dollars from FTX customers and defrauding investors and lenders to his crypto investment firm Alameda Research.

Bankman-Fried, standing with his hands clasped, told the judge before sentencing Thursday that he was haunted every day by what he had thrown away. “I was responsible for FTX, and its collapse is on me,” he said during a 20-minute statement.

  1. I kept telling people that any kind of Crypto Currency will not work in the long term, because it does not have a gold or silver back drop like any other Currency. If it deflates, all is gone.

  2. GOOD Let’s hope he serves the 25! Disgusting looking and acting character born, nurtured and developed by disgusting parents…

    • mommy and dadday are jew hating jews. put them in prison also. time to emulate with these people what they did to the parents of the michigan shooter.

  3. So,, the puppet that stole $Billions, sentence to 25, will do 12 or less.. Not too bad..
    As long as his puppet masters take care of his canteen needs while he is in.
    This is a travesty of justice.
