Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), the former crypto mogul, is set to be sentenced on Thursday in Manhattan, facing a potential sentence of up to 110 years for his role in the collapse of FTX, during which he lost BILLIONS in customer #Bitcoin. Prosecutors are seeking a sentence of 40-50 years, while SBF's legal team is arguing for a significantly reduced sentence of 5 ½ to 6 ½ years, citing his autism spectrum disorder as a factor that makes him 'uniquely vulnerable'. The defense has submitted a final batch of letters pleading for leniency, including testimonials from an MIT classmate and discussions of SBF's character and behavior. The U.S. Department of Justice has submitted statements from 52 victims, and the market consensus hints at a possible 20-30 year sentence. Comparisons are being drawn to other high-profile financial crime sentences, such as Bernie Madoff's 150 years and Elizabeth Holmes' 11 years, sparking debate over the fairness of the potential outcome for SBF. The U.S. now reiterates a $1.7 Billion Loss Figure, and SBF's team argues that FTX customers will get their money back.
