Almost to the minute -- just as I said.
A few moments ago, the verdict was read.
. . .A jury has found Sam Bankman-Fried guilty of all seven criminal counts against him. The former FTX CEO faces a maximum sentence of 115 years in prison. . . .
I'd bet the sentence, to come in about six months (just set as March 28, 2024). . . will be close to 15 years.
Earlier:
Well, by late afternoon, the jury will have SBF's felonies case in their hands, for a verdict / decision. Right now, USDC Judge Kaplan is reading the jury instructions to them. Ubers are going to be on tap (paid for by the courts) -- and free pizza dinners will be called in.
This jury will deliberate until at least 8:15 pm EDT tonight -- and perhaps substantially later -- if they decide on their own to do so, and so inform Judge Kaplan.
In any event, AUSA Sassoon's pithy quote in rebuttal, set forth in the graphic at lower right. . . will ring in their ears throughout the night.
It would not surprise me to see a verdict around 9 pm NYC time; 8 pm here in the City of Big Shoulders.
Of course, that verdict will be guilty on at least two felony counts.
Then we will await a sentencing date -- but over a decade will be highly likely, as the final outcome (he will be treated at least as severely as Elizabeth Holmes).
His parents? Perhaps. . .
Onward.
That's . . . justice.
