It’s to stop him first - he won’t be running financial fraud schemes for 20-25 years

Then it’s to stop other bright minds from attempting anything like this - they’ll remember SBF. His crime has a price now: 20-25 years

It will also give the enablers of criminality pause. If the mastermind gets 20-25, they'll realize they are risking 2-5 year sentences with zero upside just for "following orders" or negligently turning a blind eye to malfeasance.

Just a quick reminder to any potential felons in finance/crypto/corporate settings. If you decide to rob billions from the public, we'll let you out in about a decade as long as you don't beat someone up in prison. Just make sure you hide your money well!

Sincerely

Of the people stealing money in crypto the vast majority seem to get away with it for what it's worth.
