Poll of the Day > SBF gets 25 Years...

(+) Yeah! (+)

Sure

It's only fair if that means people can sue the government for false imprisonment at a rate of 320 million per year.

Not enough time, considering the circumstances. He stole 8 billion. Madoff got 150 years for his ponzi scheme.

On top of the amount SBF stole, he's shown little remorse. His apologies don't come across as genuine. They come across as his lawyers telling him "you gotta act contrite if you're gonna survive this". His reaction to the sentencing was more like he was lamenting the inconvenience of the sentence on him personally rather than recognizing that he is being punished for crimes that he has been found guilty of. "I guess I let people down" isn't exactly owning up to the weight of the crime, and is a feeble attempt to apologize to the victims of his crimes

Assuming he doesn't earn a more lenient sentence through appeal and has to serve the full 25, he'll be like 50 when he gets out.

White collar crime continues to prove to be a worthwhile gambit, it seems

The government let everyone else from his companies off the hook for jail just to only get 25 years for his ass?
Absolute giant L by the prosecutors.
I was against going soft on the rest of the company leads, and now I feel proven vindicated. "Oh just wait, I know it sucks they escaped karma, but the feds are gonna REALLY bring the hammer down on SBF!"

Meanwhile violent criminals are caught and released because overcrowding in jail

some people are litterally jus born that way and told their whole lives they're special

5 years and monitoring by government should be enough.

idk, 25 years in jail for 8 billion dollars? seems like a fair trade.

Not really, I'd willingly take that trade, which means the prison sentence isn't a disincentive to commit the crime.

If he actually got to have the money maybe, now he is just largely broke and in prison.

He stole money from 10s/100s of thousands of people and continues to act like a smug boy genius on top of it all. All these crypto douchebags need to be taught that not only does the law apply to them, they are the last people on earth capable of understanding the law.

Now every person that creates an altcoin should be prosocuted for theft or petty theft.

Put em all in gen pop, I'm sure they'll do great there.

He got to pay back 11Billion, so it's a Moot point.

Stole 8 billion and paid back 11 billion? dang, that's some good crypto gains!
