FTX fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried sentenced to 25 years in prison: SBF had asked for sentence of just 5 or 6 years. Prosecutors sought 40 to 50.

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: Prosecutors Call for 40 to 50 Years in Prison for Sam Bankman-Fried

Federal prosecutors are recommending a prison sentence of 40 to 50 years for FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried for orchestrating one of the largest financial frauds in history.

Convicted on fraud and conspiracy charges, Bankman-Fried stole at least $10 billion to fund his lavish lifestyle, make risky investments, and dispense charitable donations, defrauding investors and customers in the process.

Despite defense requests for leniency and a probation officer's recommendation of 100 years in prison, prosecutors insist that Bankman-Fried should face a significant sentence for his role in perpetrating one of the largest financial frauds in recent history.

Bankman-Fried's lawyer urged a judge on Tuesday, February 27, to impose a lenient sentence for the FTX founder's conviction for stealing $8 billion from customers of the now-bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange.

Bankman-Fried pleaded not guilty and plans to appeal his conviction and sentence.

The former billionaire will be sentenced on March 28, accompanied by support letters from his parents, psychiatrist, and others.

A BP executive's husband eavesdropped and made almost $2 million on insider trading

Quick Glance: BP Employee's Husband Admits Insider Trading

Tyler Loudon, the husband of a BP employee, has admitted to insider trading by making illegal stock purchases based on information he overheard from his wife.

Loudon allegedly made €1.6 million by buying shares of TravelCenters of the United States before its acquisition by BP.

He has agreed to forfeit the illegal profits and could face up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.

The SEC accused Loudon of taking advantage of his wife's trust and confidential information to make unlawful profits.
