The decision to avoid a second trial charging Sam Bankman-Fried with a conspiracy to make unlawful political donations and bribery of foreign officials has many conservatives up in arms.
Federal prosecutors said Friday that they do not plan to proceed with a second trial against Sam Bankman-Fried, citing public interest in a speedy resolution of the case that has seemingly irritated those who were hoping to see the disgraced FTX founder prosecuted to the fullest extent.
In a Friday letter filed in federal court in Manhattan, prosecutors said they do "not plan to proceed with a second trial" as "much of the evidence that would be offered in a second trial was already offered in the first trial and can be considered by the Court at the defendant’s March 2024 sentencing."

Bankman-Fried, 31, who has been incarcerated since several weeks before his trial, was convicted in early November of seven counts, including wire fraud, wire fraud conspiracy and three conspiracy charges. He could face decades in prison.
And so people can start getting some of their money back after he is sentenced, again, perhaps for decades, they decided to let the other charges go. Otherwise those harmed would have to wait for the conclusion of that trial and a new sentencing date, when, in fact, a jury already heard the evidence they would simply present again.

I'm pretty sure that he's still going to prison for a very very long time.
I doubt it. He's been a good communist. They'll take care of him.

Of course.
He was the 2nd largest donor to democrats in the 2020 election. Can't have all those campaign fraud charges going on during an election year.
