FTX executives have collectively gotten 35 years in prison (with more to go). Maybe this will help people in this thread see that there is a big picture.
Don't steal money from or offend the rich/elite and you will be all right?
Both SBF and Martin Shkreli have learned that.
The sentences are still all at the low range of what I'd like to see, and it's fine for people to quibble about the relative treatment & how much the cooperation should count for, but yeah, the total is useful context for perspective here.
Her cooperation landed Sam in prison by helping the feds understand the evidence, and alerted them to crimes they hadn't yet discovered.
Sam's cooperation... wasn't. He could have cut a plea deal and he chose to deny everything despite ample evidence.
Acceptance of responsibility is a thing.
