According to BlockBeats, on February 29th, CNBC reported that SBF's lawyer requested a judge to impose a relatively shorter sentence, similar to that of 'Junk Bond King' Michael Milken, instead of the 100-year prison term demanded in the presentence investigation report. In a new court document, SBF's lawyer requested a reduced sentence of only 63 to 78 months in prison and strongly refuted the claim that SBF defrauded the company's clients of billions of dollars.
The lawyer stated that SBF was formally diagnosed with anhedonia depression in college and has been taking antidepressants since then. SBF, with this condition, is particularly vulnerable to harm in prison. Both SBF's lawyer and parents expressed deep regret and remorse for the situation caused previously. SBF is expected to be sentenced on March 28th.
