Sam Bankman-Fried, whose FTX cryptocurrency exchange collapsed last year, was accused of using the firm as his personal piggy bank. Prosecutors said he orchestrated a scheme to steal as much as $10 billion from his users.

    How this guy thought he could get away with this… he was so dumb with his crimes.

    Rule 1 of crime: never steal money from rich people.

      And if you get caught put your best puppy face and say you’re terribly sorry, don’t try to play the jury for idiots or give the prosecutors the chance to implicate your entire family.

      He could have gotten away with a proverbial slap in the wrist for the scale of the theft but he couldn’t resist gambling everything on a trial.

    The jury of nine men and three women began deliberating at 3:15 p.m. and was out for a little over four hours including dinner.

    LOL

    Please if you can do anything it is don’t treat this like a major victory in any sense. The industry is infested with thousands more like him that would love nothing more for you to think that the government has solved the crime. He wasn’t the crime. He was surrounded by many more criminals that have yet to face justice.
