Newly filed court documents by United States prosecutors shed light on Sam “SBF” Bankman-Fried’s strategies to rehabilitate his public image following the collapse of FTX in 2022.&nbsp;
In a Google document <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.590940/gov.uscourts.nysd.590940.410.3_1.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">attached</a> to the government’s sentencing memorandum submitted on March 15, Bankman-Fried outlined 19 initiatives aimed at altering the social media narrative surrounding the crypto exchange’s dramatic downfall.
As reported earlier by TheCoinRise, the former FTX chief executive doesn’t mind jail term but<a href="https://thecoinrise.com/sam-bankman-fried-sbf-does-not-mind-jail-term-but-with-a-condition/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> requested a sentence ranging between 63 and 78 months</a> instead of the 100-year imprisonment recommended by the probation office.&nbsp;
<h2 id="span-style-font-weight-400-proposed-ideas-span">Proposed Ideas</h2>
Among the proposed ideas were unconventional tactics such as appearing on conservative talk show host Tucker Carlson’s program, publicly embracing a Republican identity, leaking confidential documents to the press, criticizing legal representatives, and positioning himself as fervently pro-crypto and pro-freedom. Additionally, the document suggested promoting a vehemently anti-Binance stance.
<h3 id="span-style-font-weight-400-40-50-year-sentence-for-ftx-creator-span">40-50 Year Sentence for FTX Creator</h3>
The government utilized this document to support its argument for<a href="https://thecoinrise.com/ftx-founder-needs-to-face-40-50-years-prosecutors/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> imposing a 40 to 50-year sentence on the former FTX CEO</a>, who was convicted on fraud and money laundering charges last November. According to the sentencing memorandum, Bankman-Fried’s proposals indicated a “significant likelihood” of him committing further fraudulent acts if released at a young age.
The filing highlighted Bankman-Fried’s contemplation of launching “Archangel LTD” shortly after FTX’s bankruptcy, proposing an alternative to the collapsed exchange. This, the government argued, underscores his potential to manipulate narratives and deceive investors with false promises.
<h2 id="span-style-font-weight-400-short-prison-term-span">Short Prison Term</h2>
The recommended sentence contrasts starkly with the maximum term the FTX founder faces under United States sentencing guidelines, which could extend up to 110 years.&nbsp;
Conversely, his defense counsel has advocated for a considerably shorter prison term of less than seven years, as outlined in a memo submitted on February 27. District Judge Lewis Kaplan is slated to deliver his decision on March 28.
<h3 id="span-style-font-weight-400-ftx-founder-s-calculated-attempt-to-reshape-image-span">FTX Founder’s Calculated Attempt to Reshape Image</h3>
The government’s submission posited that Bankman-Fried’s efforts to portray his crimes as mere errors or misunderstandings, evident in letters submitted by his defense, reflect a calculated attempt to reshape his narrative.&nbsp;
Prosecutors warned of the danger of Bankman-Fried leveraging his narrative to solicit investments based on deceit and false assurances.
Nearly a year after FTX’s collapse, a jury trial found<a href="https://thecoinrise.com/sam-bankman-fried-found-guilty-of-seven-fraud-charges/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> Bankman-Fried guilty of all seven charges</a> leveled against him by the US government, despite his plea of not guilty. Recently, FTX’s new management unveiled plans to fully reimburse creditors based on crypto asset valuations at the time of bankruptcy.
