Sam Bankman-Fried has been sentenced to 25 years in federal prison for fraud charges related to the collapse of FTX exchange and Alameda Research trading firm. The sentence is less than the 105 years recommended by the Department of Probation, but higher than what Bankman-Fried and his lawyers were hoping for. Bankman-Fried plans to shift the media narrative surrounding his case in an attempt to rehabilitate his reputation, but Judge Lewis Kaplan emphasized the seriousness of his actions and the risk he poses to society. In the future, publicly-traded companies involved in derivatives markets will have to address any forfeiture or restitution issues, and sentencing hearings and memos for Bankman-Fried's former executives turned prosecution witnesses are expected to begin.
