And notice how the DNC, Democrat Party Politicians and Officials haven't returned the stolen money given to them by Scam Bankman Freid, especially Maxine Waters, who is calling for his immediate release....

As should the Democrat Party Politicians and Officials that received stolen funds, from Scam Bankman Freid, and refuse to return the money they're had going on 4 years as well....

25 years is no where enough. This guy is pathetically sympathetic

I'm no fan of the guy, but people who commit real crimes get less time than that. To be honest his "victims" were greedy and gullible. It's hard to feel sorry for them.

​@@northwestcoastit isn't in comparison to Madoff. The judge thinks Sam is nice so he gets off with a slap on the hand.

Why the sympathy for SBF? He was found guilty of serious felony criminality with many victims. 25 years is a good deterrent and Justice.

I'm actually surprised he was held accountable at all with how weak our justice system is right now.

With all the lives he destroyed, at least one suicide..only 25 years??

Maybe the politicians who received donations from Fried should return those donations back to the investors.

@Midnighthacker951 No, Not really

This interview annoyed the hell out of me! No surprise a white collar defense attorney aruing its too much, but whats with the breathless empathy on behalf of the journalist?? Glad he got 25. Dont care how talented he is, hes a psychopath!

In other words you can Duke people out of billions of dollars of their savings and only get 25 years in a federal judgment case against him tell me there isn't a two-tier justice system that's just downright wrong he should never be let out of prison ever again to create the same chaos over and over again at your federal judge at your Federal judicial system for you if your Democrats you get off easily if you're Republican you would have got a hundred years easy for the same damn crime

Now tell the world who he was backing. The democrats.

Good. Now let all the dems who accepted his donations give them back.. oh won't hold my breath

Lawyer: "it is a realistic sentence, Judge didn't make any obvious mistakes". Video title: "Why Sam Bankman-Fried's 25-Year Sentence Is 'Absurd'". In fact the only time the Lawyer utters the word "absurd" was in relation to 40-50 year sentence that the government initially requested, not the final sentence. Journalism?

They had a woman get 60 days probabtion after graping a 12 year old. This country's justice system is a joke.

Great to hear from an expert. Thankyou Keven.

No, he'll serve 17

Oh, SBF holds incredible "promise" for society all right. That's what the judge was worried about.

Maybe this lawyer should also be in jail!

Without watching the video I'm going to bet it was the same defense as Trump's lawyer's defence: " everyone in [insert industry here] does it so it's unfair to render such a harsh judgment against my client"

Is Democratic party going to pay restitution to defrauded investors to the tune of millions they received from this guy?

@Cumdown

No

It is the absurdity of the US legal system to give SBF such a lenient sentence. Why ? Because SBF represents capitalism in the end. The establshment made all the efforts to reduce his sentence. Look at the sentences imposed on all ordinary poor people, black people. Typical of the US.

I disagree that the 25 years is too much and that going to prison is a deterrent enough for white collar criminals. Look at Billy MacFarland and John Spano. They did time and went right back to defrauding and scamming after their prison sentence. Kaplan even noted that Sam was not remorseful for his actions and SBF hinted that he would basically do it all again given the chance. True, it wasn't malicious, but he's a gambler and will gamble again with other people's money.

Did this guy just say "such talent?" SBF didn't have remorse and denied the allegations! Terrible take on this case!!!

He's calling that talent?

SBFs main punishment will come from his own mind. The time in prison is merely an outward manifestation of that, intended to make an example of him. He had the world in his hands and he threw it all away and that is going to eat him alive.

What other stance would a white collar defense attorney take ?. I think 25 years will punish him and warn others. The judge could have gone higher for me. At least 3 people committed suicide because of the FTX fraud, and that has to be taken into account.

Biden will pardon him

This guy is delusional. Fried has consistently demonstrated no remorse and plenty of bad attitude. I don't see the good in this guy. His talent is criminal talent.

Forbes please let this nice young lady do more interviews.

Great interview.

Thank you !! I totally agree with you thank you for sharing your opinion i agree with you completely & if he gets richer good for him anyone wishing him consequences for a lifetime needs to mind their own lives . I wish everyone out here in this planet the very best none of us are perfect but we can surely try to be kind to one another .

I don't really believe in putting someone like this away for 25 years when there are child rapists out walking the streets.

He doesn't even say what numbwr of years he think it should be.

Spoken like a true defense lawyer. However if SBF had robbed him I bet the lawyer would want SBF to do 50 years.

Great interview questions!
