Former Prosecutor Predicts 25-Year Sentence for Sam Bankman-Fried in FTX Collapse Case
Legal experts predict that Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of FTX crypto exchange, may face a prison sentence of around 25 years for his involvement in wire fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering. Bankman-Fried faces a maximum of 115 years in prison, but former federal prosecutor Renato Mariotti believes that Judge Lewis Kaplan will not be lenient when imposing the sentence. Mariotti cited Bankman-Fried's immense fraud, defiant behavior during the trial, and lying on the witness stand as reasons for a lengthy sentence. Kaplan previously revoked Bankman-Fried's $250 million bail for contacting potential witnesses against him.
