There is no way Sam Bankman-Fried will serve 25 years. If he serves 25 years, I will lose my faith in the US justice system. Bankman will be in prison for a few years and then be released on parole with strict conditions. His parole conditions will be as follows: he can work from 9am to 5pm but must return to his home prison after 5pm. He could only have BBQ on weekends and can only leave the USA for vacation twice.

If it's a non whyt, then it's a scammer. Otherwise, it's a crypro king, entrepreneur, etc.
If you steal from the rich, you go to prison. When the rich steal from the poor and working class, they receive around of applause.

I am shocked at the length of sentence… not because he doesn’t deserve to go to jail… Have defrauders from mainstream banks or financial institutions ever had such heavy sentences? Jordan Belfort (Wolf of Wall Street) served 22 months for going the US equivalent of QE on old associates... No Wall Street heads went to jail after the 2008 financial crisis… Sorry , one Banker, Egyptian Born, of course, was sentenced to a whopping 30 months in jail… slight disparities eh???

This was a rapid fall from grace, we should be getting faster at prosecuting these frauds. it normally takes too long and it moves down the headlines and new frauds come up trying their shot.
Ahh another little hat committing fraud.
Fried's fried 🤣
“Ironically bitcoin is soaring” Zero Irony
Good.
He should've been sentenced to at least 120 years in prison; the pain and damage and suffering he and his group of scamming criminals did to millions of innocent people around the world, There is no Justice in United States of America, Just because he is [ member of the Chosen one ] doesn't mean he is above the law [ or maybe, only in United States of America, [Chosen one] get free pass. JUSTICE NOT SERVED.
A former work colleague always went on about buying bitcoin and i tried to tell him it was a bad idea. He lost almost £230k, his wife left him and he is now homeless. His attitude before his fall was obnoxious because he constantly went on about how much his crypto currency was worth and when it all went wrong, the amount of people that done the `I told you so` thing was unreal. Im glad this fraudster has been jailed and i hope that all 13k+ crypto currencies get removed from existance.

25 years for stealing $11bn seems pretty light. With good behavior he could be out by the time he's 45. He'll still have half his life left while thousands of other people spend years working to recoup the money he stole

I see what he did. He hid a lot of crypto and is willingly going to prison. In 25 years he will be out and enjoy his 100x crypto.
If they want to get the money back they should go after the Democratic party that he gave all that money to
