Disgraced FTX founder and convicted fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried has appealed his federal conviction and jail sentence, per a apellatsiooniteade filed in the Southern District of New York (SDNY) court.
Bankman-Fried’s appeal comes after he was sentenced to 25 aastat vangistust by U.S. District Court Judge Lewis Kaplan. The FTX founder was also ordered to repay $11 billion in forfeiture, after the Department of Justice successfully argued in court that he had sifoonitud more than $8 billion from the defunct crypto exchange to fund riskiinvesteeringud, celebrity sponsorships ja tema oma elustiil Bahama saartel.
In November, a jury found Bankman-Fried süüdi of seven counts of fraud, money laundering, and conspiracy. While the charges could have seen him jailed for 110 years, the government argued for a sentence of between 40 and 50 years. Bankman-Fried’s own lawyers argued for a sentence of 6.5 years.
Kohtuprotsessi ja kohtuotsuse vahelisel ajal palkas endine FTX tegevjuht uue juriidilise meeskonna.
Out of the gate, Bankman-Fried’s lawyers called the 100-year recommendation from the jury “groteskne.” During the sentencing, the disgraced crypto founder’s team argued that “a sentence of decades-long duration would end Sam’s ability to lead a meaningful life and contribute to the neediest in society.”
In the end, Judge Kaplan decided that the government’s sentencing request was “substantially greater than is necessary,” and recommended that Bankman-Fried serve out his sentence in a medium- or low-security prison, close to San Francisco so as to facilitate family visitation.
Õiguseksperdid ütlesid Avaldage lahti that Bankman-Fried is likely to serve out vähemalt 21.25 aastat in federal custody, after an automatic 15% sentence reduction was applied.
Kaplan ütles, et lõplik karistus kajastas tõsiasja, et "on oht, et see mees võib tulevikus midagi väga halba teha. Ja see pole üldse tühine risk.»
"Klientide ja investorite petmisel on tõsised tagajärjed," ütles USA peaprokurör Merrick Garland pärast kohtuotsust. "Igaüks, kes usub, et suudab varjata oma finantskuriteod rikkuse ja võimu taha või uue särava asja taha, mille mõistmiseks pole keegi teine piisavalt tark, peaks järele mõtlema."
