The sentencing hearing was held in Manhattan, with Judge Lewis Kaplan continuing to preside over the case. Bankman-Fried Sentenced to 25 Years in Prison The collapse of FTX will likely remain one of the biggest controversies in the history of the digital asset sector. Moreover, the criminal activity of the company represented some of the largest financial crimes in the history of the United States. Subseuqnlety, the firm’s CEO and founder has rightly become the face of those illegal acts. Now, more than 450 days after being apprehended, FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried has been sentenced to 20 years in prison. The hearing took place today under the same judge who presided over Bankman-Fried’s criminal case. The outcome had been the subject of debate between both sides leading up to the hearing.

Specifically, those charges include his thievery of customer assets when running the cryptocurrency exchange, and his deceit with the firm’s investors and creditors. Altogether, Bankman-Fried was responsible for around $8 billion in customer assets being stolen. #SBFVerdict #SBFFTX $FTT

New York Jury Finds Do Kwon, Terraform Labs Liable for Fraud in SEC Case The SEC accused Kwon and his company of misleading investors about the stability of their so-called “algorithmic stablecoin” Terra USD. NEW YORK – A Manhattan jury has found Terraform Labs and its co-founder, Do Kwon, liable on civil fraud charges brought by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in connection with the $40 billion implosion of the Terra ecosystem in May 2022, according to a Friday statement from the SEC. The SEC accused Terraform Labs and Kwon of misleading investors about the stability of its so-called “algorithmic” native stablecoin, Terra USD (UST), and the use cases for the Terra blockchain. The jury delivered the verdict on Friday, just two hours after lawyers for both the SEC and the defendants gave their closing arguments at the end of the nine-day trial in New York. Jurors agreed with the SEC that Kwon and, under his direction, Terraform Labs deceived everyday investors about the nature of the supposed algorithm that kept UST pegged to the U.S. dollar. Though Kwon insinuated that it could “automatically self-heal” in the event of a de-peg, it actually relied on continuous trading activity, including large-scale trading done by institutional investors. “We are pleased with today’s jury verdict holding Terraform Labs and Do Kwon liable for a massive crypto fraud,” Gurbir Grewal, SEC Division of Enforcement director, wrote in a statement. “The defendants caused devastating losses for investors and wiped out tens of billions of market value nearly overnight. For all of crypto’s promises, the lack of registration and compliance have very real consequences for real people. As the hard work of our team shows, we will continue to use the tools at our disposal to protect the investing public, but it is high time for the crypto markets to come into compliance,” Grewal added. #LUNA #LUNC #DoKwon $LUNC $LUNC
