The former CEO of FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried, has been given a 25-year prison sentence after being found guilty of defrauding customers and investors. Despite remorse for his actions and acknowledgment of harm caused to FTX's customers, the prosecution sought a harsher sentence of 40-50 years due to significant financial losses. Bankman-Fried's defense team argued for a shorter sentence based on his status as a non-violent first-time offender. The sentencing also included an order for Bankman-Fried to forfeit over $11 billion in assets.
