Guilty on all 7 charges.
Still gonna walk?
Also, with a yap like Sam's, they don't want him anywhere where he can spill the beans, so maybe he will eventually be terminated after his debriefings are completed.
RWSGFY says

Yep: "A jury has found Sam Bankman-Fried guilty of all seven criminal counts against him. The FTX founder faces a maximum sentence of 115 years in prison."
I would be surprised if Bankman Fried does not serve at least 10 years in prison before given parole.

Where's AF and his colorful tirades about prolapsed anuses when we need him?
Biden is going to pardon him because there is no way Biden is going to give back his campaign contributions.

Bloomberg
FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried was convicted of defrauding customers by a federal jury today. He was convicted on all seven counts, Reuters and other news outlets reported. The 12-member jury returned the verdict after several hours of deliberation.
The seven charges are wire fraud on customers of FTX, conspiracy to commit wire fraud on customers of FTX, wire fraud on lenders to Alameda Research, conspiracy to commit wire fraud on lenders to Alameda Research, conspiracy to commit securities fraud on investors in FTX, conspiracy to commit commodities fraud on customers of FTX in connection with purchases and sales of cryptocurrency and swaps, and conspiracy to commit money laundering.
The five charges related to wire fraud and money laundering carry maximum sentences of 20 years each, while the two securities and commodities fraud charges have maximum sentences of five years each.
SBF has very powerful friends in high places. He won't walk, but IMO, he won't get anywhere near the 110 years that is being bantered about in the media.
Mega-Dem donor Sam Bankman-Fried convicted of crypto fraud, faces 110 years behind bars. Let's review the 40% of Congress that got money from him.
Remember how CNBC and all those social influencers were praising Sam Bankman-Fried a few years ago for being the most generous liberal billionaire on the planet?
That aged like milk.
It only took the jury 5 hours to deliberate in this case, which was no small potatoes. FTX was a mega empire. It had stadiums in Florida with its name.
SBF created a crypto token that people could invest in, then used those investor funds as collateral to borrow billions of dollars that he couldn't pay back, and continued the Ponzi scheme until the whole thing crashed.
Of the billions he stole, large sums went to left-wing politicians in an effort to swing elections.
SBF was the second-largest Democrat donor in the last election cycle.

SBF, Sam Bankman-Fried has been found guilty.
However around 40% of CONGRESS(!!!) received donations from SBF and FTX that were mixed user funds!
Only a few politicians returned or donated the funds.
Here is the full list of everyone who has received funds from FTX and Sam.
... Many of these politicians never returned the money, meaning a lot of victims of SBF's scam essentially made the donation of their life savings to the Democratic Party's abortion-and-transing-the-kids crusade.
A former prosecutor Bloomberg interviewed for its story pointed out that Sam will be punished for not taking a deal earlier. “He has lost a lot of his arguments for a reduced sentence by taking the case to trial, by not accepting responsibility, and by essentially arguing at every turn that he at least did not commit fraud,” the former prosecutor explained. “Those are the kinds of factors that cause prosecutors to ask for very, very high sentences.”

I wonder how much of Bankman Fried and Soros money was a factor in those swing districts and if these swing districts will still remain Democrat in the 2024 election.
Ever seen those superhero movies where Batman hunts down the villain and leaves him hogtied in cables for the police to mop up? That’s what happened with Sam Bankman-Fried. The internet hunted down the fraud, collected indisputable evidence, and delivered him gift-wrapped to the government. Then everyone from Elon to India yelled online for a full month till the state finally, grudgingly picked him up.
I wonder why the US government just dropped campaign finance charges against SBF 🤔
So the U.S. government is about to put Sam Bankman-Fried behind bars for decades on fraud and money laundering convictions, but now that he's safely contained in the federal prison system, authorities have decided to drop charges related to campaign finance and bribery.
Why do you think that is?
From the BBC:
The 31-year-old was found guilty of fraud and money laundering last month.
Prosecutors said the "strong public interest" in a resolution of their case against the former billionaire outweighed benefits of a second trial.
A "strong public interest," eh?
For whom?
For me? For the American people?
Or for, say, Maxine Waters?
From Collin Rugg of Trending Politics:
SBF donated $100 million during the 2022 midterms, pouring tens of millions into dark money groups with customers' funds.
Some of these groups were linked to Senate leaders including Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer. ...
But I can think of other reasons why the bloated political class of the American empire might want to drop charges that shine an unfavorable light on those in the regime's inner circle.
This is a justice department, after all, that will spare no expense prosecuting every American grandma and Babylon Bee actor who visited DC on January 6, 2021.
It's a justice department that sends a SWAT team to a pro-life leader's home and tries to destroy him for pushing a man who was aggressively harassing his son.
It's a justice department that investigates Catholics for being Catholics and pushes Big Tech to silence its opponents.
It‘s a justice department that jails those who block abortion clinics while taking its sweet time looking for perps who firebomb pregnancy centers.
It's a justice department that‘s dedicated to stopping the most popular candidate for president, per recent polls, through multiple indictments. It even dares to say it's removing the opposition from the ballot in the name of democracy.
So color me skeptical about why SBF's second batch of charges are being swept under the rug.
