Lawyers representing the disgraced FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried stated that their client should face a maximum sentence of 6.5 years or less in prison, for his involvement in fraud leading to the collapse of the FTX exchange. They presented their proposal to US District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan in a detailed 98-page memo prior to his sentencing scheduled for March 28. In a recent development, a federal judge has taken into account the charitable works and demonstrated commitment by Sam to others in determining an appropriate sentence. According to a memo, the judge suggested that a sentence returning Sam promptly to a productive role in society would align with the purposes of sentencing while ensuring it is not greater than necessary.
