Sam Bankman-Fried , Sentenced to 25 Years , for FTX Fraud.
On March 28, Sam Bankman-Fried was sentenced to
25 years in prison after being found guilty of defrauding
users of FTX, the now-collapsed cryptocurrency exchange. .
NBC reports that Lower Manhattan federal district
Judge Lewis Kaplan found the defense's arguments
misleading, speculative and logically flawed.

obstruction of justice and tampering with
witnesses while mounting his defense.

factors played a role in his decision
about how to sentence Bankman-Fried.
Prosecutors had originally sought a longer sentence
of 50 years, while the defense fought for
Bankman-Fried to get no more than six and a half years.
