FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried's lawyer on Tuesday requested that a judge give a lenient sentence following his client's conviction for stealing $8 billion from customers of the now-bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange, claiming that FTX's clients would have most of their funds returned.

Fuck him. Prison is supposed to be a deterrent or else what's the point. He's no different than any other thief. Time to start treating them that way.

FAFO. It's time these assholes get treated like we would be.

Epstein time.

You shouldn't get less time for stealing $1B than you do for stealing $1k

You also shouldn't get less for stealing an entire bank than you do for stealing *from* a bank.

SBF fears for his safety, well it is prison, duh.

That's not a valid reason to ask for leniency.

To be fair, you *shouldn't* have to fear for your safety in prison.

That's not supposed to be part of the program. They're supposed to maintain enough control of the animals to keep them from eating each other.

If a zoo can keep the tigers from eating the antelope, the prison should be able to as well.

But, that's not a reason to let them out. It's a reason to fix the prisons.

The zoos keep the tigers from eating the antelope by keeping them caged and separated.

Jails aren't allowed to do the same things.

in a cage.....by himself....there ya go.......make it cement walls vs bars to keep him extra safe.........

I get your point, But that isn't how it works. If I was ever sentenced to prison time I will admit I would be scared of more things than just losing my freedom.
