The legal team for Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), the cryptocurrency entrepreneur facing charges for a significant financial fraud involving $8B, has requested a 5 to 6-year prison sentence, citing his autism spectrum disorder as a mitigating factor. This comes in stark contrast to the prosecution's recommendation of a 100-year sentence. The defense has labeled the century-long sentence recommendation as 'grotesque,' arguing for leniency based on SBF's condition. This case has drawn parallels to Allen Stanford's, who received a 110-year sentence for a similar crime. The defense's strategy, known as the 'Autism Defense,' has been met with skepticism regarding its effectiveness.
