SBF had asked for sentence of just 5 or 6 years. Prosecutors sought 40 to 50.

Way too light of a sentence. The way financial crimes are viewed by the courts is a fucking joke.

Financial crimes are handled inversely proportional to how much is stolen and also the wealth of the victims. This guy stole a fuckload, but unfortunately for him he wasn’t using wage theft to steal from poors.

Half as much as he deserves. But it’s a start.

We need the death penalty for something like this in the US. Caning is also an appropriate punishment IMO. I don’t care if the crime isn’t considered violent, his actions have undoubtedly led to some deaths of despair and his punishment should reflect that.
