For comparison, Martin Shrkeli [1] got 7 years. While SBF claims that there's a chance his victims will recover their money, Shrekeli's victims did actually recover everything. The scale of Shrkeli's affairs was in the millions (maybe tens of millions), certainly not in the billions.

- effingwewt 3y agoThat's not even close to comparable. Also, Shkreli should have gotten far longer. E- context->comparable
- credit_guy 3y agoWhy is it not comparable? They both committed financial crimes. Shkreli got 7 years. SBF's crime vastly surpasses Shkreli's one (for example he was also convicted for money laudering). Why does SBF think 5 years is appropriate? Because his victims might one day recover their money? Well, Shkreli's victims did recover 100% of their money, but he still did his time.
