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.
SBF repeatedly lied to get out of “supervillain” prison term, FTX CEO alleges: FTX CEO: "The harm was vast. The remorse is nonexistent."

business-standard.com/companies/news/openai-s-sam-altman-returns-to-company-s-board-after-probe-clears-him-124030900047_1.html
Quick Glance: OpenAI appoints new board members, reinstates CEO Sam Altman
- Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, is rejoining the company's board of directors.
- Joining alongside him are three new members, including former CEO of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Sue Desmond-Hellmann, ex-Sony Entertainment president Nicole Seligman, and Instacart CEO Fidji Simo - expanding OpenAI's board to seven people.
- The appointment of the four new board members - and the reinstatement of Altman - comes after OpenAI faced criticism for its all-male board makeup and the nomination of Summers, who made derogatory remarks about women.
- OpenAI's expanded board is certainly diverse - at least in terms of their backgrounds.
