Context
Four months after the conviction of Sam Bankman-Fried’s all seven crimes, he will know the final sentence soon. In a letter to the Department of Justice, a Futures Exchange (FTX) customer who lost $4 million when the exchange filed for bankruptcy in 2022 expressed disgust at a spreading narrative that clients of the crypto exchange would be made whole.
Evidence
Pending intelligence enrichment.
Analysis
“I have scraped the docket of scheduled claims and calculated the exact amount stolen,” wrote the former FTX customer, whose identity has been concealed by the government. “The total value of customer liabilities is $19,722,911,002.84.” This letter ended up to the US District Judge Lewis Kaplan, who on Thursday will inform FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried of his prison sentence out of his role in the collapse of the exchange. The sentencing proceedings will occur in the same place as four months ago—where a jury found the former crypto executive guilty of all seven criminal counts against him.
