Sam Bankman-Fried will not face a second trial: Prosecutors
The Hindu
U.S. prosecutors end pursuit of second trial against convicted FTX cryptocurrency exchange thief Sam Bankman-Fried, sentencing to include restitution for victims.
U.S. prosecutors said they do not plan to conduct a second trial against Sam Bankman-Fried, who was convicted last month of stealing from customers of his now-bankrupt FTX cryptocurrency exchange.
In a letter filed on Friday night in federal court in Manhattan, prosecutors said the "strong public interest" in a prompt resolution of their case against the 31-year-old former billionaire outweighed the benefits of a second trial.
Prosecutors said that interest "weighs particularly heavily here," given that Bankman-Fried's scheduled March 28, 2024, sentencing will likely include orders of forfeiture and restitution for victims of his crimes.
Jurors on November 2 convicted Bankman-Fried on all seven fraud and conspiracy counts he faced. Prosecutors had accused him of looting $8 billion from FTX customers out of sheer greed.
Lawyers for Bankman-Fried declined to comment.
Bankman-Fried had faced six additional charges that had been severed from his first trial, including campaign finance violations, conspiracy to commit bribery, and conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmitting business.
He had been extradited in December 2022 from the Bahamas, where FTX was based, to face the seven earlier charges.
