I tend to agree with this statement, but frankly, scamming people, stealing money from their hard work, and wasting it on personal interests without caring about them or even thinking about ever regretting it deserves more years of financial crimes.

In my country, if it is related to a criminal event, it is likely that she will receive a life sentence. However, if it is fraud, it will be between 25 and 50 years for each accusation, but in most cases it is 5 years for minor charges and 40 years for public opinion cases. 25 years is a very lenient version, especially since the sentence It was 108 but that's what it is.

I am surprised how the ruling was made so quickly. Judicial rulings take an average of 5 years.

They will receive money but at rates of cryptocurrencies in a bear market, 2 years ago. That is painful loss for FTX and SBF victims.

25 years sentence is too soft as months ago, speculation is about 100 years sentence for SBF. Will SBF receive reduction of his 25-years sentence after some years in jail?

If he gets reduced sentence and be free from jail after like 5 years, it's unfair for people lost money because of his scam.

People got forced liquidations lost their money forever.
People did not use leverages, did not touch Futures trading but were panic sold in a bear market and FTX fiasco, lost their capital forever.

Not surprised if this lenient sentence comes from lobbying efforts behind the scene by politicians.

Perhaps it's a nice idea to sentence him to 25 years in prison as he didn't think he was going to have such a long year in there but to his greatest surprise the judge wasn't fair to him but did what was right. If he had gotten the length of sentence that a lot of people where suggesting I guess by now I he would have better been dead because most people with pain and anger proposed that he should be sentenced to 90 years, some wanted 60 years etc. and perhaps if had gotten this length it would have equally amounted to life imprisonment because his 32 already and that to 90years or 60 years is not a joke if only he would be alive to witness it.

In conclusion, the crime that got him into 25 years in jail is always commited regularly by different people in different areas of business but this will serve as a great warning to all exchanges CEOs or exchange it's self to stay away from such crime. Hence, some exchange will begin to up there games and be more careful this time.

I remember back in Nov 2022 when he was seen walking around his Bahamas city pretending like nothing happened. Everybody was tweeting him “why aren’t you in jail yet?” And he basically thought that just by saying “sorry” in a twitter post was all it was going to take to keep him out of jail. He sure was wrong.

It also took a long time for them to finally arrest him. Took weeks if I remember correctly, he was doing interviews and everything during that time. People were furious. But the day finally came. Wonder what will happen to the other FTX managers who knew what was going on.

i think all scammers believe that they are untouchable. The adrenaline of getting
your profit from multitude of scams would have your heart racing and excited and happy.
all scammers think superiorly of themselves and if they see other scammers being jailed,
they probably will just think that they are better than them. no other way to humble
scammers than having them caught.

Yea, it shoulda be longer. Bernie Maddoff got more time. He should have received the 50 years max with no parole.

Well, in that case, I think that enough justice has been given to those who got large funds that year. Maybe even if Sam Bankman appeals, his appeal will not be able to do anything. It means that the amount of money he had didn't do anything either.

Justice really existed for the people who were victimized by SBF. I am happy for the people who were cheated and victimized by what Sam Bankman did. 25 years is quite a long time, and many things can change in that regard. Let's see and wait on that matter.

Parents can't accept what's bad in their children even if it's proven. They might know he did something wrong, but they can't stand and watch him spend 25 years in prison without doing anything, after all, he is their child and parents love their children more than anything in the world. 

That being said, SBF getting the treatment he deserves will surely be an example in this industry for all industry leaders to not do things that SBF did, otherwise, you can end up spending the rest of your life in prison and the money you may earn through fraud and scams won't be of any use.

Welcome to America. Where people will act like they did not do anything. Where people will act like their son/daughter/relative didn't do anything against other people.
Kidding aside, both of his parents are experts, and correct me but one of them or both of them are lawyers but nevertheless, they can say that they will continue to fight for their son, but it has been served already.

Justice has been served? For 25 years, I think that it wasn't enough, but it's the judge's decision so.. I guess those who lost their money in the FTX fiasco must accept it. The question is when they will start to pay the $11 Billion dollar forfeiture that will be paid to those investors. Now that a crypto project owner has been sentenced to jail because of his fraudulent activities, I hope that this will create a domino effect towards other projects and will think twice if they will try and do what FTX also did or not. I mean we've seen Celsius, Gemini, Bitconnect way back 2018 and now FTX. I hope that there will be less and less scenarios like this that will happen in the future.

25 years for me isn't enough, but as long as the investors who lost their money will be repaid then it's all good.

I am sure that such terms are received by people with much smaller amounts of fraud. That's who will be dissatisfied with the verdict, comparing their misdeeds with the billions stolen by Sam. Nevertheless, 25 years—this is a quarter of a human life—let him be gnawed by the understanding that nothing can replace the freedom that he lost for 25 years.
