Quick Glance: Sam Bankman-Fried's Verdict: 25-Year Prison Term - BBC News
- Sam Bankman-Fried received a 25-year prison sentence. Key details from the court hearing in New York were summarized, focusing on his defense lawyer's arguments and the judge's ruling.
- The judge criticized SBF's lack of remorse, noting that he had never expressed a word of regret for committing terrible crimes. Customers who lost money in the collapse reported experiencing nightmares.
- SBF admitted to making a series of poor decisions but claimed that customers could be reimbursed. The judge pointed out that the assertion that customers would be fully repaid through the bankruptcy process was misleading.
- The court hearing also included testimonies from customers who lost significant amounts of money, insights into SBF's background, and the reasons behind the collapse of his company FTX.

Quick Glance: Conviction of CEO from 2022 Crypto Crash for Fraud
- A court in Manhattan determined on Friday that a former crypto CEO from Singapore was liable for civil fraud. The decision aligned with the US Securities and Exchange Commission's claim that both he and his company deceived investors before the collapse of the company's namesake cryptocurrency in 2022.
- Allegations were made by the SEC against Terraform and Kwon for deceiving investors in 2021 about the stability of TerraUSD, a stable coin intended to hold a value of $1. Additionally, it was asserted that both falsely stated that Terraform's blockchain was utilized in a popular Korean mobile payment app.
- The depreciation of the two tokens led to the devaluation of other cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, and caused extensive turmoil in the crypto market, resulting in several companies filing for bankruptcy in 2022.
- In recent months, US financial regulatory authorities have been focused on cracking down on dubious crypto moguls. The former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried was sentenced to 25 years in federal prison for wire fraud and conspiracy to launder money. His company is still in the midst of controversial bankruptcy proceedings.
