Is this fedral? I thought it was Manhattan DA?

  Nope, it's Federal. He has appeals coming up though. I have no idea what the outcome could be but there's an opportunity for the sentence to be reduced on appeal. Honestly, this sentence doesn't appear egregious or "being made an example of" so IMO he doesn't get a reduction. But, sometimes you get a sympathetic judge?

    If the same court put Ross Ulbricht (a way more sympathetic case) for 40 years, no way they're lenient on SBF.

      Ross Ulbricht got two life sentences plus 40 years without parole.

  Its a federal case tried by the US Attorney’s office for, and in the US District Court for, the Southern District of New York. Media will sometimes (because this are in Manhattan) label these as a Manhattan/New York prosecutors or a Manhattan court, but it is federal, not state, prosecutors and court in New York, not New York prosecutors or court.
