The case has attracted widespread attention, with many viewing it as a pivotal moment in the regulation and oversight of the cryptocurrency industry. Bankman-Fried has expressed remorse for his actions, stating he is 'sorry about what happened at every stage.' The sentencing is scheduled to begin at 9:30 EST in downtown Manhattan.
