For Bible believers, All sin are equal in the sight of God. And in our normal society no one is above the law, So if someone has committed an offense that is punishable by law, be it killing, armed robbery, cyber crimes or Fraudulent practices and in one way or the other be a sponsor to such things, Then if found guilty the offender should go face the law and if it involves going to the prison or jail, the person should be there to learn some lessons. The bottom line is wether SBF, Ross Ulbricht no one is above the law and both should go to prison if found guilty of their acts.
But in reality I don't believe he'd have any trouble at all. He was paying too many people in high places and his well-connected parents would be pulling every rope they had to keep SBF in Federal Camp with a simple sentence in exchange for silence where all the money went.
I also hope that both of them are not above the law, both of them must receive punishment for every deed they have done. All crimes in the eyes of the judge are the same, don't be sharp towards people below, but blunt towards people who have money.
Law is always hard for weak people, and easy for rich people. If the law worked at the speed of the law, there would never have been any criminal abomination in the society or the country. Here Ross Ulbricht was arrested for creating the darknet market website Silk Road. Through this website he provides services for drug services and other illegal immoral activities. He was sentenced to two life terms and an additional 40 years for the crime. I think the court has given him an appropriate sentence.
But the SBF committed a more heinous crime. Investors all over the world lost their money when he bankrupted his FTX. It has shaken the confidence of investors around the world and completely destroyed the cryptocurrency market. The court sentenced him to 115 years in prison for his criminal act, but on a special plea, the court advised him to stay at home with his family. I never consider this to be an appropriate punishment because a heinous criminal like him should be jailed with a harsher sentence. Seeing his punishment makes people hesitate to commit such heinous crimes.
