Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of cryptocurrency exchange FTX, has been convicted on seven charges in New York. The jury found him guilty of embezzling $8 billion in customer funds, which he used for speculative purposes and to fund an extravagant lifestyle. The verdict, delivered by the jury, has exposed Bankman-Fried’s true intentions and shattered the image he had created as a humble and socially conscious individual. The prosecution presented evidence that Bankman-Fried had deceived investors and provided misleading financial information to lenders. It was also revealed that he had developed an unhealthy obsession with rival exchange Binance and harbored ambitions of becoming the President of the United States. The severity of Bankman-Fried’s punishment will be determined on March 28th next year, with the possibility of a lengthy prison sentence, potentially exceeding 100 years. This trial has brought Bankman-Fried back down to earth and highlighted the consequences of his actions.
