FTX executives have collectively gotten 35 years in prison (with more to go). Maybe this will help people in this thread see that there is a big picture.

- nebula8804 2y ago>Maybe this will help people in this thread see that there is a big picture. Don't steal money from or offend the rich/elite and you will be all right? Both SBF and Martin Shkreli have learned that.
- buzzert 2y agoJust make sure you're paying taxes.
- arduanika 2y agoThere are enough wildly different conspiracy theories around these events that I genuinely have no inkling of a clue what you mean. Which big picture are we supposed to see, and what's the relation to 35 years?
- wmf 2y agoPeople keep saying there's not enough punishment but they're not seeing that somebody is being punished; it's just not Caroline.
- arduanika 2y agoOh okay, yes I see your point and it's a sensible one. Not conspiratorial, sorry if I insinuated that. The sentences are still all at the low range of what I'd like to see, and it's fine for people to quibble about the relative treatment & how much the cooperation should count for, but yeah, the total is useful context for perspective here.
- mozman 2y agoShe should have gotten the same as Sam.
- dgacmu 2y agoWhy? Her cooperation landed Sam in prison by helping the feds understand the evidence, and alerted them to crimes they hadn't yet discovered. Sam's cooperation... wasn't. He could have cut a plea deal and he chose to deny everything despite ample evidence. Acceptance of responsibility is a thing.
- rurp 2y agoSBF's trial was one of the the most high profile trials in years, and resulted in a long sentence. I can't imagine a two year low security custodial sentence for Ellison is going to change anyone's mind who thinks that the crew got away with it. Caroline very publicly cooporated and testified against SBF.
