SBF is a fundamentally good guy and does not deserve more than 5 years of jail

they're well-intentioned and mostly harmless. what he did was harmful, no doubt, and he deserves to go to jail for that. but he's by no means a criminal mastermind, or dangerous recidivist, or even a buckwild ape - the type of person who should be locked up for their entire lives.
just bar him from future financial services work, and i'd give a 95%+ chance he'll be a productive lawful citizen with significant contributions to society.
and i'm also not really sympathetic to his "victims" who are mostly gamblers and con artists and pump and dumpers, who collectively deserve far more punishment that they'll never receive |

Date: March 28th, 2024 12:14 PM Author: Hairraiser Rusted Resort Death Wish This was my initial position in the beginning. I maintained for a long time that he wasn't that bad and this was partially a witch hunt. I honestly thought this was all overblown. 5 years and let him back out live his life.
Here's where I can see where the judge is coming from. I think the main issue here is that he never showed any remorse, doesn't seem to understand his guilt, and the judge thinks he's a sociopath. I think that's the danger of a light sentence. If he got Martin Shkreli time he's back out there in a few years raising capital for another venture. And he may just have the personality to screw it up all over again. But he has enough famous friends that there would be a ton of buzz over his next venture.
In conclusion I think his sentence is a result of his behavior after his arrest, not before it. He could have taken a plea, fell on his sword. He could have admitted it fully and put the victims first. Instead he took it to trial and never admitted anything, and tampered with witnesses. His lawyer should have advised him that the evidence against him was great and he wasn't just going to walk out of there with a slap on the wrist. He fucked up this trial and sentencing. You got caught, fess up, fall on your sword, take a plea, put the victims first. That's how you get 10 years of your life back. But he didn't. He swung for the fences. And if you do that the judge is going to compare you to every other felon he knows and go hey this guy kind of sucks and he is probably just fucked up. Sam did this to himself. There were other moves on the board. He played his hand very poorly. |

He created a fraudulent "woke, altruistic wunderkind" persona that he used to gain the trust of retail investors and regulators.
None of it was true and he stole tons of money. |
