Sam Bankman-Fried was recently sentenced by the courts, but was justice truly served?
The former CEO of FTX was given 25 years behind bars—a far cry from the maximum 40-year sentence he could have served.
However, at least one legal expert claimed that it is unlikely that the disgraced CEO will even serve that amount of time.
Meta Law Man provided more analysis of the situation and claimed that the next steps in SBF’s ongoing saga are:
“Next steps. 1. SBF will appeal the conviction & sentence. 2. The Effective Altruism crowd will begin a lobbying effort to Biden Admin to pardon or commute the sentence.
3. Federal convicts can expect to serve 85% of their sentence.”
SBF has been sentenced to 25 years in penitentiary.
Next steps.
1. SBF will appeal the conviction & sentence.
2. Effective Altruism crowd will begin a lobbying effort to Biden Admin to pardon or commute the sentence.
3. Federal convicts can expect to serve 85% of sentence. https://t.co/2wlcVmL7sQ— MetaLawMan (@MetaLawMan) March 28, 2024
SBF stole billions of customers money, lied in court, and only got a 25 year sentence.

Do you think Sam FTX getting 25 years in prison was a fair sentence?

Reuters provided this statement from Judge Lewis Kaplan:
“He knew it was wrong,” Kaplan said. “He knew it was criminal. He regrets that he made a very bad bet about the likelihood of getting caught. But he is not going to admit a thing, as is his right.”
