Former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried expresses remorse in ABC News interview after receiving 25-year pri
Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder and former CEO of the now-defunct crypto exchange FTX, expressed remorse for his actions in an email interview with ABC News from the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. Bankman-Fried was recently sentenced to 25 years in prison for fraud and conspiracy charges. He acknowledged that he made bad decisions that led to FTX's insolvency in 2022 and expressed frustration at not being able to do more to repair the damage from prison. Bankman-Fried's defense team plans to appeal the sentence, citing misstated trial testimony and the exclusion of crucial evidence and witnesses.
