Manhattan federal prosecutors on Friday asked a judge to impose a 40 to 50 year bid for convicted crypto fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried, a far cry from the five to six years his defense lawyers put in their sentencing memo, with both being far from the max of 110 years given the many counts the idiot scumbag could be facing at his March 28th hearing, the New York Times reports.
One factor working in Bankman-Fried’s favor is that, unlike Bernie Madoff, who did die in prison, the victims of the FTX scam were able to recover their assets. A factor working against him is that he was a total asshole on the witness stand and at one point told a prosecutor he was answering her question in “answer the question the way he thought she should have asked it.”
