25 years jail-time for SBF

FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried was sentenced to 25 years in prison for stealing billions of dollars from customers, marking the final chapter in a case that has upended the crypto industry.

US District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan delivered the sentence in federal court in Manhattan moments after Bankman-Fried said he was “sorry about what happened at every stage.”

There should be an additional jail sentence for neglect:

Failure to perform hair care.
Failure to regularly dry-clean suits.

Jeez, a billionaire and he still didn't learn how to dress properly... kuk-brown shoes with no belt on his trousers nor a proper haircut and cumstains on his suit... he reminds me of a caucasian Sai Baba.

I fear to think what he smells like.

it's by design. The abhorrent body odour is a choice.

“He is a beautiful puzzle. He can parse words better than a Talmudic scholar,” Bankman-Fried’s defense lawyer told the court about their client, adding that “his mother says there’s a terrific sadness at his core… We ask that you sentence him with a compassionate heart.”

Federal sentence rules means he has to serve at least 85% with the rest coming off for good behaviour if he keeps his nose clean every single day. Works out to 21 years and 3 months.

Sam Bankman-Fried appeals conviction, criticizes judge’s ‘unbalanced’ decisions​

Lawyers representing Sam Bankman-Fried, the FTX CEO and co-founder who was convicted of fraud and money laundering late last year, are seeking a new trial.

Following crypto exchange FTX’s collapse, Bankman-Fried was found guilty on all seven counts, then sentenced to 25 years in prison and ordered to pay $11 billion in forfeiture. He has been serving his sentence in Brooklyn.

Bloomberg reports that Bankman-Fried’s appeal focuses on the behavior of US District Judge Lewis Kaplan, alleging that Kaplan’s rulings were “not just erroneous but unbalanced” and that the judge “continually ridiculed Bankman-Fried during trial, repeatedly criticized his demeanor, and signaled his disbelief of Bankman-Fried’s testimony.”

The appeal also claims that Kaplan “repeatedly mocked defense counsel” while helping the government make its case, and that he “improperly prodded” jurors to reach a quick verdict.

So the 'recusal' starts... I hope that this is not meddling.
