POLL: Is Sam Bankman-Fried sentence of up to 25 years sufficient?

Any idea how long will he actually serve?

It’s federal, so has to serve 85% of it

Talking heads are suggesting that he will get out in around 15 years.

TheSpiker

Monomachos

Mar 28, 2:10pm

Only in the sense that it maintains the bankruptcy courts at this point.

Socrates Johnson

Where does the money to pay back the investors come from?

there are $13bn in assets and 8bn claims other than post-hoc fines. they will
