Quick Glance: Sam Bankman-Fried Avoids Second Trial
- U.S. prosecutors do not plan to conduct a second trial against former FTX Chief Executive Sam Bankman-Fried, who was convicted last month of stealing from customers of his now-bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange.
- Prosecutors said the strong public interest in a prompt resolution of the case against the 31-year-old former billionaire outweighed the benefits of a second trial.
- Bankman-Fried could face decades in prison when sentenced by U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan in Manhattan.
- A second trial would not affect how much time Bankman-Fried could face in prison, as Kaplan could consider all of Bankman-Fried's conduct when sentencing him for the counts on which he was convicted.
