Could Sam Bankman-Fried Get Out of Prison Early? Here’s How It Could Happen

Sam Bankman-Fried, the former FTX CEO who was convicted of orchestrating a massive $11 billion cryptocurrency fraud, is facing a life sentence. However, legal maneuvering could potentially see him released earlier than expected. 54 days off per year for good behavior, participation in educational and rehab programs, and time spent before sentencing are all factors that could significantly shorten his 25-year term. While the Bureau of Prisons has estimated his release as December 14, 2044, legal experts believe he may be eligible for a substantial reduction.
