Sixteen months after the collapse of his FTX cryptocurrency exchange, Sam Bankman-Fried has been sentenced to 25 years in prison. He has also been ordered to pay an $11 billion monetary judgment.The sentence follows his conviction on all seven felony charges in November 2022 — a decision reached by the jury within hours of beginning their deliberations.Bankman-Fried intends to appeal the conviction.
From the defense lawyer’s statement (after Molly White) :
Really, he’s an awkward math nerd. He thinks in probabilities about everything. He speaks in expected value calculations. He loves video games and veganism (…)
Those are aggravating circumstances. If I’m the judge that’s +10yrs just for “he speaks in EV calculations”.
