Sam Bankman-Fried gets 25 years
[quote]He was convicted on seven charges with a combined maximum sentence of 110 years. The charges included wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud, securities fraud, commodities fraud, and money laundering.
[quote]His lawyers had asked for sentence of just 5 or 6 years, prosecutors sought 40 to 50. Kaplan also reportedly ordered a forfeiture of $11.2 billion but said there would be no actual restitution because it would be "impractical."
Bullshit.

This is the current state of the US Legal System: You can try to overthrow the country's entire rule of law and walk away Scot free, but if you steal from rich, White people you get 25 years in prison.

He will be out in 5 years and will definitely not be living in Connecticut on $1.9 million a year.
Probably has millions if not billions squirreled away somewhere.

From CNN:
[quote]There is no parole in federal cases, but Bankman-Fried may still be able to shave years off his term.
[quote]“SBF may serve as little as 12.5 years, if he gets all of the jailhouse credit available to him,” Mitchell Epner, a former federal prosecutor, told CNN.
[quote]Federal prisoners generally can earn up to 54 days of time credit a year for good behavior, which could result in an approximately 15% reduction. Since 2018, however, nonviolent federal inmates can reduce their sentence by as much as 50% under prison reform legislation known as the First Step Act.
[quote]Epner said the First Step Act was billed as a civil rights measure, to help minority offenders who committed nonviolent drug-trafficking offenses.
[quote]“It has turned out to be an enormous boon for white-collar criminal defendants, who are already given much lower sentences … than drug-traffickers,” Epner added.

R12, 12.5 years is almost the same as what that bug-eyed Theranos bitch got. Again, it's not nothing.

Bad day for the fugly club. Sam Bankman is off to jail, trump lawyer John Eastman, and former trump DOJ official Jeffrey Clarke facing disbarment. Good times.

r15 And yet I'd trade all of that, and more, to see Teflon-in-Chief get a month of house arrest.

[quote] month of house arrest.
Why so lenient, R16?

Just being realistic, I doubt any of the judges will go for prison if he's found guilty.

A month is nothing for all the rest of those bastards to go free.
