FTX 前首席执行官 Sam “SBF” Bankman-Fried 的代表律师表示，对创始人最高判处 50 年监禁的提议援引了“中世纪”的惩罚观，并不能准确反映其罪行的严重性。
3 月 19 日，班克曼-弗里德的律师马克·穆卡西 (Marc Mukasey) 和托里·杨 (Torrey Young) 写信给刘易斯·卡普兰法官，回应政府 3 月 15 日下达的量刑建议。
“这份备忘录带有明显的敌意，歪曲了现实以支持其宝贵的‘损失’叙述，并将Sam塑造成一个堕落的超级恶棍。”
3 月 15 日，美国检察官提交了更多文件以及一份量刑备忘录，提议对这位前加密货币亿万富翁判处 40 至 50 年徒刑，他于 2023 年 11 月因欺诈和洗钱指控被定罪。
律师们声称，拟议的判决采用了“中世纪的惩罚观点，以达到相当于监狱中死刑的量刑建议”。
“这不是正义，”他们补充道，并提议减刑五到六年。
律师们提出了多项论点来证明班克曼-弗里德减刑的合理性。
他们辩称，没有实际损失，因为破产程序将导致所有客户和贷方都获得赔偿，资产仍保留在遗产中。
此外，律师们还辩称，检察官错误地将班克曼-弗里德描绘成贪婪的人，并受到个人财富最大化的渴望的驱使，这与他的慈善事业和据称朴素的生活方式形成鲜明对比。
两人还对政府关于班克曼-弗里德再次犯罪风险较高的说法提出质疑，并援引了有关受过教育、没有犯罪记录的白领犯罪者再犯率较低的研究。
最后，班克曼-弗里德的律师指责检方提出了毫无根据的指控，其中包括指控班克曼-弗里德逃避责任以及歪曲类似欺诈案件的量刑数据。
他们表示：“我们尚未确定一名因非暴力犯罪被判入狱 40 至 50 年并被释放的联邦被告。”
“用这种方式压垮萨姆是没有必要的。”
穆卡西和杨声称班克曼-弗里德已经失去了他个人和职业生活中的“几乎所有人和一切”，并建议减刑约五到六年半。
“如果政府确实认为 Sam 应该‘重获自由’，那么就需要大幅下调 63 至 78 个月的正确指导范围。”
