Collapsed crypto exchange co-founder asked to be spared from prison
Gary Wang, a computer programmer who helped build the FTX crypto empire, asked a federal judge to spare him from prison because of his role as a key witness at the fraud trial against his long-time friend, Sam Bankman-Fried.
In a sentencing memo filed in Manhattan federal court on Wednesday, his attorney Ilan Graff said Wang’s cooperation and his relative lack of culpability should result in a non-custodial sentence.
