$BTC $ETH $BNB Crypto King' Sam Bankman-Fried faces decades in jail after guilty verdict
Sam Bankman-Fried, who once ran one of the world's biggest cryptocurrency exchanges, has been found guilty of fraud and money laundering at the end of a month-long trial in New York.
The jury delivered its verdict after less than five hours of deliberations.
It concludes a stunning fall from grace for the 31-year-old former billionaire, once known as the "King of Crypto", who now faces decades in jail.
Bankman-Fried was arrested last year after his firm, FTX, went bankrupt.
