- Bankman-Fried promotes Solana in prison despite facing fraud charges
- Request for leniency in prison sentence by Sam Bankman-Fried

Currently, there's a plethora of bullish indicators surrounding SOL, with one standout detail.
Reportedly, Sam Bankman-Fried aims to avoid an extensive prison sentence.
Similar to a modern-day Paul, the FTX founder is using his time behind bars to advocate for Solana.
Seeking leniency, Bankman-Fried's legal team pushes for a maximum prison term of five and a half years, a stark contrast to the potential 110-year sentence he faces due to multiple charges including money laundering and fraud.
Despite being found guilty on various counts in November 2023, his attorneys argue for a reduced sentence citing his lack of criminal history, cooperation with authorities, and the absence of financial losses to investors.
Notably, Bankman-Fried remains invested in crypto, particularly SOL, while awaiting sentencing.
Even amidst incarceration, he promotes Solana to fellow inmates and guards, underscoring its potential as the future of cryptocurrency.
Bankman-Fried's involvement with Solana dates back to its ICO in 2019, followed by the launch of Serum in 2020 and a substantial donation to the Solana Foundation in 2021.
Solana has experienced remarkable growth, reflected in its current market cap exceeding $40 billion.
With Solana trading around $133, technical analysis suggests a potential rally towards $200, contingent on surpassing key resistance levels.
While the future of Solana appears promising, investors should exercise caution due to the volatile nature of cryptocurrencies.
