Sam Bankman-Fried – also known as SBF – has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for stealing billions of dollars from customers of his cryptocurrency exchange FTX.

The former billionaire CEO faces decades in prison for fraud and conspiracy charges stemming from his role in the collapse of FTX.

Prosecutors say Bankman-Fried took more than $10bn (£7.9bn) from unsuspecting customers in “one of the biggest financial frauds” in US history.

  1. He will never do 25 years. He is Jewish so there will be plenty of powerful people who will be helping him behind the scenes to get his sentence reduced on appeal. I imagine it will be reduced to 10 years and he will probably serve half that before getting paroled at a club Fed prison. Then he will be made wealthy by book and film deals.

  2. Even bribing democrats didn't save him. Though the bribes got him just 25 vs 50, so the bribes to felons like Hillary worked.
    And remember, she like SBF is a felon and married to a sexual predator so hero democrats.

  3. Wouldn't it be cool that after he gets out of jail to meet him working at McDonalds. Sam, "How would you like to pay for that sir?" Customer "With FTX, please."

  4. <>Great Video! I really do have a question. For someone with less than $10,000 to invest, how would you recommend we enter the crypto market? I am looking at studying some traders and copying their strategy rather than investing myself and losing money emotionally. What’s your take on this approach
