- A federal judge sentenced former cryptocurrency mogul Sam Bankman-Fried to 25 years in prison, saying that a man who once graced magazine covers and testified at congressional hearings as the face of a booming new industry had in fact perpetrated one of the largest financial crimes in U.S. history.

Treating him with less jail time because of his autism is assuming those with autism can't make logical legal decisions
no, Patrick, recognizing that the courts system may need accomodations for people who are disadvantaged at maintaining neurotypical behavior during due legal process-which impacts sentencing-is not the same thing as assuming that no autistic person can make logical decisions, you just jumped to that conclusion.
edit: holy shit yall. i am NOT excusing his behavior. I am saying that the above statement is a false equivalence. here are some other examples of accomodations that a judge-who went to law school and listened to more than a 40 second tiktok summary of the case-may implement during sentencing:
- sending a female convict to an all-women's prison
- reducing jail time of someone with PTSD who shot a fed during a no-knock search on their home
- dropping assault charges on a kid whose dog was shot during a raid on their home (which may not have even been the right house)
- tossing a failure to appear in court charge (technically just not charging) for a paraplegic or single working mother who wasn't given or couldn't find transport accommodations to make it on time
- ignoring the disruption to court proceedings that a narcoleptic or tourettes syndromed client unwillingly causes
it's no one's job-or even *right* -but the judge's to determine an appropriate length of sentencing based on the available information, which again is A LOT MORE than a tiktok could ever provide
@@cataclyxdefrauding thousands of people fully aware of the laws as they exist is an illogical decision.
Was he declared legally incompetent? No? Then stop assuming that he didn't understand laws when he committed fraud.
I learned my boundaries in my teens. Does depend on how bad autism may present itself person to person.
@@cataclyxThere was no system that made this man commit tax fraud because he didn't understand social boundaries, and he did not accidentally commit fraud. This is just a bad person with autism, and it sucks, but it happens.
"a young man with autism" Shut up. I'm autistic, and people trying to use autism to slip out of their crimes is something I can never accept. It only sours what autism is perceived to be, and isn't remotely a truthful defence whatsoever.
This guy actually tried to use autism to get out of facing justice. The most egregious thing I've done is use my ADHD to get an "emotional support python" while I was living in the dorms. She did a world of good for my mental health though, so she actually did do what I got her for lol. She got me a free trip to the local amusement park, and the phone number of my now-boyfriend.
The disability card is for nice stuff only!
@@sophiedowney1077 I hope you mean a Ball Python and not some behemoth😭
@@sophiedowney1077im sure pythons are chill but that read like a threat to my brain. ahh yes come into my dimly lit room and meet my "emotional support" python 😊😊😊
@@remingtonn_ that's how the people in the dorm who were mean to me saw it too lol. My friends loved her though. She's a ball python so she's harmless.
I think there is an importance on the latter half of "autism spectrum disorder".
P.S. its the lawyers.

As an autistic guy, I've seen 2 people over the past week use autism in court to try to get away with stuff. One of them was Bankman-Fried, because apparently autism means you can't understand that stealing from millions is wrong. The other was some guy in virginia that got out of jail after he tried approach 2 women to give them love letters. He put a airtag on one woman's kid so he would know her address. He apparently tracked the other woman down to her college dorm. Autism is not an excuse to commit crimes. Its frustrating to see it used as such.
I don't think the Judge thinks he didn't know what he was doing due to Autism. The sentence reduction for Autism is probably because his prison stay will be harder and the judge thinks an Austistic serving 25 years will suffer as much as a neurotypical doing 40 years. I'm not saying I agree with that logic but that's what a lot of judges think
Maybe not, but the trauma and upbringing is what damns them to be that way.
It's not the autism, it's the way people treat them.
There was also another case but in Canada where a terrorist ran over a group of people with a van and blamed it on his autism (if you want to learn more it's called the younge street van attach)
Not to mention even if autism was the cause, you still can't just be going around doing that
@@onii1928Bro wad his country
“For a young man with autism-“
BRO HE BROKE THE LAW.
And he was convicted, and they fully acknowledged he was going to face jail time. They simply wanted it reduced because of mitigating factors. Thats completely reasonable to ask.
Hes not that autistic. If he even is at all. Its just an excuse to get a lighter sentence
@@cameronspence4977 it doesn't even make sense as an excuse. Van his lawyers even explain how his autism is relevant to him being less culpable??
In some cases I can see it being a legitimate factor. Like if someone has a meltdown & harms someone unintentionally bc they're not in control of themselves that's something to consider for lowering a sentence.. but this shit makes no sense
-someone w/ asd
@@MadeagoestoNamautism is not a mitigating factor when he is found guilty of conspiring to commit.
He dipped his hand in the cookie jar (like every other crypto scheme) and tried to hide it because he knew what he did was wrong. He is not the first to do so and he absolutely knew that others had pulled the same stunt before him. He knew full well what he was doing, as did his co-conspirators.
They're really citing autism like it makes you unaware you are comitting financial fraud lololol thats not how that works
*donating to charity isn't a moral or selfless act if you stole the money from poor people you screwed over.
THIS!! RIGHT HERE!!!
*Chucks a couple bucks at a random charity*
"There! See! I'm innocent! I do good! I'm a good person because charity!"
80% of the money donated to most charity’s ends up in their pockets anyway
"also, can I get tax relief on that charity donation?"
Look how good I am sure you lost your house but I put the money in a flat circle that ends up in my friends hands that he then gifts me.
Who wants to steal a million dollars only to get 28 days of prison?
Oh so many people. Like Enron. The bankers from 2008 and there were so many of them. The people that made the housing market a mess also 2008 I believe. And it wasn't just Bankers as people over inflating their house prices along with a real estate market. Let's not forget orange 45.

That’s almost 1500 dollars an hour, and you’re sleeping during almost half your shifts!
No we are normal people we get 25 to life
@@connor9930 oh. True. Thanks voice of reason. Happy easter
As someone on the Autism spectrum, I don't claim Bankman-Fraud either.
Yeah this was an unnecessary statement by them we know right from wrong.
@@ConstantChaos1 do you expect people representing one of the biggest fraudsters in decades in court to represent us correctly
Same here. Autism doesn't make people do crimes. I can't believe they actually used the autism card. That's for university essays and accommodations only!
Same.
Sham Banking-Fraud
And same
Don't use the autism defense -- Most people with autism have a strong sense of justice and don't like breaking the rules.
Actually abhor the breaking of rules.
Indeed
This. I'm autistic and I've always been a goody two shoes.
You aren't the spokesperson or expert on this guys case of autism. You have no idea whts going on in his head.
A really disgusting psych journal actually said autistic people, during a study, acted according to what they perceived as moral more often and consistently than allistic people.
... and called the behavior (the behavior is *acting morally*) disordered.
Being a good person is a disability, confirmed.
"can we at least hold the mallet" lol
I love that they all had mallets at the end
That was great 😂
Her facial expression as she was slightly waving the mallet with glee was everything 😂
@@raddimusmcchoyber3362YES!!
Pleasantly suprised to see him actually charged properly. Sad to see autism being used as an excuse. I cant remember the last time I stole 8 billion 😂
Now there’s legal precedent for you get a lighter sentence the next time you do steal 8 billion dollars
I work in a middle school… autism is being used more and more often as an excuse for horrible behavior - especially when it comes to refusing to do classwork and insisting on playing games on their laptops, instead (one kid literally told me, “I can’t do schoolwork, I’m autistic”). Training helplessness and using disability as a crutch rather than working to overcome.
@@dammitdan1662 that's such bullshit. I'm on the frickin spectrum and I was one of the most well behaved kids in my class growing up because my parents raised me correctly. Hell even as an adult when meeting new people or coworkers I say something like "hey names Manny, I'm on the spectrum and I can get really energetic and spacy at times, this doesn't excuse any odd behavior it just explains it. If I'm being too much or I'm acting weirder than usual please feel free to mention it to me as I relay on the others around me to keep me in check in those moments and I don't want to be treated differently just because of my condition, so you wanna grab a beer latter?" Lol
@@dammitdan1662 seriously those kinds of kids and parents are why so many people have this weird idea about us that we can't fit in around "normal" people. I honestly don't know what offends me more: parents who allow their children with ASD do whatever they went to do or the movies and TV shows where they treat mental disorders as superpowers 😒
Me either. Might just be a memory issue tho.
So tired that I misread the title as Batman Fried
Rest in peace Batman, he never saw that frying pan coming.

#1 reason he got twenty-five years: Successfully robbed rich people
What a chad
@@shawno8253no lol, he definitly robbed plenty of desperate people too
Its poor people who suffered mostly. Had it been the rich, he would have gotten life
nope he only got 25 because he robbed poor to middle class, he would be dead if it were rich people
Poor people are who loses on the public markets. "Retail" spenders
Omg the celebration dance when the ladies got their own -mallets- gavels is amazing
I watched that part 3 times
it's actually the same person...
In all fairness, did anyone get jail time for causing the 2008 housing market collapse?
I just googled it, one banker got 30 months in prison. Just over 1 year. And he paid $25 million in compensation to the investment banking company he worked for.
These guys destroyed the lives of millions and got away mostly unpunished.
(psst 30 months is 2.5 years) still not remotely enough, though :/

Worst part to me is “effective altruism” because a buzzword as opposed to literal effective, data-driven altruism.
Instead of obsessing over recycling fighting to make clean water universally accessible
I’m looking at you Nestle😡
Most money in effective altruism goes to preventing malaria, among other global health issues like vaccines and Vitamin A deficiency.
@@michawhite7613I think effective altruism would seriously benefit society by investing in education globally
Make everyone a little smarter
The big issue with effective altruism is the drive to make as much money as possible gets in the way of then being able to give as much of it away as possible. Should you spend this million on getting clean water to these people now or invest it to get two million later? But then why not invest that two million? And then eventually you’re no different than any other money hungry rich guy except you pretend it’s for the best
effective altruism is just manipulating your selfishness and presenting your wealth as "generosity". it's not.
@@hannahlistento100EAT We've found that the best way to improve education is actually deworming. People have tried lots of things to improve school attendance in Kenya, including better textbooks, training for teachers, giving students laptops, etc. Most of them didn't make a difference. But it turns out a lot of the kids were staying home because they were sick with parasitic worms. And deworming pills are very cheap, so you can deworm a lot of children with your money.
The wiggle when the lawyer was handed the mallet is priceless 😂😂😂
Crypto in general is a giant fucking scam
At first I thought that maybe it would have some niche use but I have been thoroughly convinced it has no place outside of scamming people
The block chain (which is the technology that forms the bedrock of crypto) is interesting and could have some uses but unfortunately, it's just being used for crypto and nfts, which are just environmentally damaging scams.
I don't get how having a non government backed financial system is bad?
No extra prints of money.....
@@modernNeanderthal800Actually You can make more of a crypto it's the whole reason Bitcoin mining is a thing it's literally non government backed corporate controlled garbage I trust my country more than I do any of those Crypto bros running the Crypto market
Just because it's an alternative to the system we currently have, that does not make it better. Crypto is just as corrupt with even less oversight than our current system.@@modernNeanderthal800

That's nice 👍
Thats hot

Relatable
I saw it too.
The dramatic pen waves from the background characters always send me
Your videos are amazing! Ty so much!
Ain’t no way a convicted grown man tried using “I just a wittle guy wit *autism* 🥺”
Did they really just play the Family Guy “Oopsie Poopsie!” Card in court?
He most likely going to unalive himself without the internet while in prison :(
You are getting really really good at this.
meanwhile all the other large financial crimes are just slapped with fines and house arrest or some bs
The self-referential delivery of this news is wild but also entertaining.
In contrast the average time served for murder is 17 years.
I hate the fact that number is so low...
@sparrowslife5142 fr, though, capital punishment is where its at.
I'll never not enjoy seeing the background layers doing random movements 😅
You guys make fantastic sketches that actually inform me. Bravo. Also great choice with the rubber mallet from the hardware store for the gavel 🤣
Nice to know that defrauding people out of billions of dollars Carrie’s the same jail time the minimum sentence for first degree murder
“Can we at least hold the gavel?”
That happy satisfied face!😂
That head shake with the mallet 😂
Can I hold the gavel next? 🥺👉👈
Even lawyers still fall for the moral credential bias... Nah, that's likely intentional
I really want to see how many different takes are needed to make one of these videos. You guys are killing it with these shorts ❤
Objection, your honor he was sorry
“Case dismissed”
i LOVE the faces when they both got to hold the "gavel"
At least 1 year for every million stolen.
8000 years might seem like a lot, but he'll be eligible for parole in 4000.
The extras' eyes get me every single time
4th wall break got me lol
That’s what we call a compromise, neither side gets what they want but rather something in the middle
So his lawyers have just as much say in the people who’s money was stolen?
Thank you for giving enough of a shot about gen z to to even attempt to communicate this to us ✌🏿
I accidentally read the title as batman and thought he was going on trial 💀
"can we please hold the mallet"
I love that the gavel duplicates as well 😂
You can't use the autism defense unless you have a law never allowing people with autism to run companies.
I don't think the Judge thinks he didn't know what he was doing due to Autism. The sentence reduction for Autism is probably because his prison stay will be harder and the judge thinks an Austistic serving 25 years will suffer as much as a neurotypical doing 40 years. I'm not saying I agree with that logic but that's what a lot of judges think
This construction mallet in hands of judge is hilarious :)
40 Years and 11 Billion in fines for a nonviolent crime is nuts
"I regret getting caught"
The loop with the gavel hand back was smooth
God forbid someones special interest be commiting wire fraud
"it's not even a real gavel"
It's crazy to me that feeling remorse can get you less time. Our justice system is so messed up.
"Young man with autism"
*Cartman singing about his golden ticket*
That gavel in hand bit was clinically funny
We went from over 100 years to just a quarter of it.
I’m ngl I thought the title said Batman at first
What is it Bill Waterson said? "A good compromise leaves everyone mad"?
Lmao “but your honor, my client wanted to donate the misappropriated funds” 200 iq play
I love the Syracuse graduation robe moonlighting as a judges robe!
I always love what the you not talking does: blink like a maniac, spin pen, etc
I never noticed that it wasn't a gavel 😂
"They weren't selfish decisions, they were just bad decision, that just so happened to benefit me and my ideals"
I remember when journalists actually did investigations and not just propaganda.
Remember, stealing is only legal if your stealing from billionaires
No amount of jail time is enough for a serial scammer like SBF.
“A young man with autism” is such bullshit. My autism makes me talk obsessively about car paint, not steal billions from investors using my company that’s essentially just one big rug-pull.
Absolutely insane
Those lawyer must be really powerful to turn a the gavel into two gavels.
The guy literally had a slack channel called wire fraud.
It's a waste of tax money to keep non-violent criminals in prison for 25 years.
Can we at least hold the mallet 😭
I demand you increase the budget and get this women a real gavel
WAIT THE NEWS IS NOW A CINEMATIC UNIVERSE?!
Isn’t it hilarious when the country adamantly prosecutes finically crime but then does rarely anything against the violent criminals we all see on this app?
I just wrote a high school research paper on cryptocurrency and this scandal was wild
Fraud Thief Shrimp: I did not make Shellfish decisions
I'm not sure why all the commenters are so mad at 25 years. That's a really really long time. Look back at how your own life changed in the past 25 years, and all the progress you've made, all the growth you've done, all the fun you've had. And he'll spend that time looking at a wall in a box.
25 years is a lot of time.
in a just world he would be forced to work at waffle house for the rest of his life.
Sam may try to use his autism as an excuse for his crimes, but he was never declared incompetent to stand trial.
Also - didn't he surround himself with advisors and lawyers? He seems to understand their role.
I always fucking hated the “he’s autistic he didn’t know it was bad” excuse. Some of the smartest people I know are autistic, he knew damn well what he was doing.
The biggest shock was his parents, somehow got away scot-free
All those political donations really came in clutch at the end
Nah the dude knew exactly what kind of game he was trying to play.
He just got caught with his pants down, if it had of went the other way, he would have been a genius, he knew the risks.
Good to see a bunch of people who neither understand the law, nor understand the crime, are happy to express their views on what mitigating factors they think are appropriate.
He should've gotten maximum sentence. He knew what he was doing and tried to hide it.
Ah yes, of course, the classic "I have autism" defense.
...excuse me...HIS money?? He got his fortune by ripping people off.
Enough money to make a bowtie and pocket square outta real bills 😂
He'll be out when he's 57, damn
Truly, a Robinhood of our time...
As an autistic man, I can personally say I have never tried or even wanted to commit wire fraud
Bankman-Fried hurt so many people...he deserves Life in Prison.
8 billion for 25 years?! Thats the same as getting a day in prison for stealing 1 million dollars.
Its about 900k per day to be exact.
I read it as Batman-Fred sentenced. You can guess my reaction.
