Sam Bankman-Fried defrauded people. He didn’t intentionally create a digital black market, where everything from hit jobs, narcotics, poison, weapons, and human trafficking could (and were) conducted.

And since there are many well-known marketplaces for legal activities (eBay, Craigslist, Kijiji, Facebook Marketplace, AutoTrader.com, need I go on?) then the only defining feature was that this was a black market.

One cannot “accidentally” do this. So yes, aiding and abetting countless crimes and possibly murder —> life sentence.

In that context do you still find it unjust?
