It’s kinda sad if this means they get away with a lighter sentence cause the crimes are so obvious everyone involved deserves the worst.

The most annoying thing to me about the Bankman-Fired guy** is how he's asked a straight question like "why did Alameda have unrestricted access to FTX investors' money" and his answer is always "what I think happened is..". No you rear end in a top hat you were there, you did it. How can he get away with that in interviews?

Prosecutors don't offer plea deals they don't need.

They probably have hard evidence of SBF knowingly laundering money for Iran or something. Possible they have something on CZ too.

I mean or the wealthy parents of everyone involved bailed them out and they did in fact get offered plea deals that weren’t needed because there’s no justice in the USA.

The people involved have carefully compiled mycrimes.txt and if they weren’t rich failchildren they’d all be in jail for the rest of their life. The prosecution didn’t need to let off most of them to throw the book at one, it’s obviously just gonna be a compromise to show that something happened while minimizing who takes the blame.

With the competence level of most people involved in the coin scene, i wouldn't be too surprised if they confessed then pled guilty out of the blue and are expecting to be offered a plea deal for being so helpful

On the plus side they can't ever really touch finance ever again easily. And likely can't ever occupy 'official' corporate leadership positions ever again.

Fraud charges lock them out of a lot of what they seek to do in life.

Don't prosecutors pretty much always offer at least some sort of plea deal, as it's just so much easy for everyone than actually going through a full court case?

There's a plea deal in the sense of "you would probably lose in court and get 10-15 years; if you plead guilty and take 6 years, we don't have to hold the trial, and you get out way sooner."

And then there's a plea deal in the sense of "immunity or minor punishment in exchange for turning state's evidence."

Rich people jail was the absolute worst thing that could happen to them in this lifetime and if they dodge even that it’s a big sad lmao.

She pleaded guilty to about 7 crimes with combined prison terms of like 110 years max. Yeah she flipped, so does that mean she gets 10-15 years or something like that?

Still a lot of crimes to commit and plea guilty to, regardless of her purely selfish reaction when the feds told her how hosed she was.

I'd say they've hosed with enough peoples' money that it no longer matters how rich their parents are. Plenty of people with influence are going to be out for blood.
