Reply to comment by Twerkatronic in Judge kept cooperation of Alameda CEO, FTX co-founder a secret so Sam Bankman-Fried wouldn’t get spooked and fight extradition by ihavestrings

They do but you know how this will go down. SBF will get ~20 years. Ellison <4 for cooperation. Their families are too rich and "important" for them to suffer actual consequences.

Damn, 20 years doesn’t count as “actual” in your book

Absolutely nothing compared to the 100 he could be facing.

20 years in prison isn’t “absolutely nothing” compared to anything. It’s definitely something.

He should die imprisoned like Madoff.

20 years in prison might not be enough for you, and it might empirically not be enough in general, but 20 years in prison, when you’ve spent the first thirty years of your life with a silver spoon up your ass, is going to be harsh.

I mean, it's a lot, no doubt about that. But he would deserve more imo.

20 years for frauding or stealing billions? Some people are in jail for 20 years for selling drugs

And some people are in jail for less than 20 years for murdering someone. Sentencing can be messed up and very arbitrary. Fortunately, the federal system uses a set of Federal Sentencing Guidelines that can help make the process more objective.

20 years obviously counts as "actual consequences". If he's so important why not less?
