Sam Bankman-Fried Sentenced to 25 years in Federal Prison
 
Sam Bankman-Fried sentenced to 25 years in federal prison

Fallen crypto mogul Sam Bankman-Fried sentenced to 25 years in prison - Anchorage Daily News

Yesterday I read that his attorneys were asking for 5 - 6 years because 'investors would get their money back'. I'm pleased the judge didn't fall for that.

I wonder if he'll end up in Coleman?

I'll bet you a dollar that he doesn't actually serve 25 years.

Will he serve his sentence in the prison Crypt?

According to the NY Times, he will likely be sent to a low- or medium-security prison in the San Francisco Bay Area so that he can be near his parents’ home.

Couldn't happen to a "nicer" person.

It's interesting that all of the targeted donations he made didn't save him. But, there is still time, I suppose.

Since no one serves the sentenced time, but gets out for various reasons, I couldn't possibly accept the bet. Now whether strings will be pulled for: low security, congenial weather, good food, as others have suggested, I cannot say. But suspect, I do suspect.

Martha Stewart spent her time at "Camp Cupcake". Which prison is the male version of that?

That is a slap on the wrist as he will get out early from a country club facility. He obviously has friends in the right places who are looking after him. No real justice for his many victims.

Agree. 50% time off for good behavior then a trip to the islands to spend the $$$ he has hidden away. Maybe he’ll “trip and fall” and true justice will prevail.

So SBF is convicted of stealing billions of dollars and will do time for that. If this stolen money was given to a political party as a campaign contribution,it is stolen money No? Don't they have to return that money.?After al it is stolen property ( or $$)

Am I the only one who is surprised at people actually getting involved in this in the first place. Crypto currency never interested me and I don't think of it as real money. We say so many times "one born every minute" ...................
