NEW YORK, March 15 (Reuters) - Sam Bankman-Fried should spend between 40 and 50 years in prison after being convicted for stealing $8 billion from customers of his now-bankrupt FTX cryptocurrency exchange, prosecutors said on Friday.
...
"Even now Bankman-Fried refuses to admit what he did was wrong," prosecutors wrote in a sentencing memorandum. "His life in recent years has been one of unmatched greed and hubris; of ambition and rationalization; and courting risk and gambling repeatedly with other people's money."
I am dying of curiosity to learn what SBF actually did with 8billion dollars.. like how much money can you spend before you run out of things to spend on?
Fuck that. Because he gambled with rich peoples money? How would a 40 year prison sentence rehabilitate him from that.. I say it is pointless, release the man! In fact, we need more like him. Eat the rich!
This makes no sense. He himself was a billionaire who fucked over both rich and non rich people. Just because he failed and took other rich people down a peg doesn't make him some sort of martyr.
How did he become a billionaire? From what I've heard his parents were connected and well-off, but not billionaires. And he doesn't seem old enough to have made billions on his own before FTX. If he only became a billionaire by temporarily scamming people, I don't think that counts.
