US crypto billionaire Bankman-Fried received 25 years in prison

USA (bbabo.net), - Sam Bankman-Fried was sentenced to 25 years in prison for multi-billion dollar fraud on the FTX cryptocurrency exchange. Reuters reports this.

We are talking about the theft of $8 billion from clients of the FTX exchange founded by Bankman-Fried. Thus, the high-profile and scandalous career of the former billionaire prodigy ended.

US Judge Lewis Kaplan delivered the verdict at a hearing in Manhattan, rejecting Bankman-Fried's arguments that FTX clients had not actually lost money. The judge also found that the cryptocurrency activist lied during his testimony at the trial.
