Gary Wang, former FTX co-founder and technology chief, has requested no jail time, citing his significant cooperation in securing Sam Bankman-Fried’s conviction.

Case Background

Gary Wang served as a key witness against Bankman-Fried, aiding the U.S. government’s successful prosecution, which led to a 25-year prison sentence for Bankman-Fried in April 2023.

Gary Wang's Role

Wang argues that his involvement in the events leading to FTX’s collapse and the estimated $10 billion fraud was relatively limited. His role mainly involved following Bankman-Fried’s directives, such as altering FTX’s code to provide Alameda access to customer funds—a move that ultimately led to the platform’s downfall in 2022.

“Unwarranted sentencing disparity.”None

Future Plans

Wang's memo conveyed his ongoing value to fraud detection efforts, noting his collaboration with prosecutors to develop anti-fraud software. With his wife expecting their first child this month, Wang expressed a desire to continue supporting his family and FTX’s victims by aiding in the government’s ongoing recovery efforts.

Wang's plea for leniency reflects his cooperation with the government in the conviction of Bankman-Fried, consistent with other FTX-related cases.
