Hasn’t he now done 25 months total? Can the first answer resolve no? @JonathanRay

@Pjfkh I'm unable to resolve individual items separately on this question

bought Ṁ2,500 NO

the SBF pardon market is 2% so is the 5-10 mostly suicide?

sold Ṁ245 NO

@JonathanRay he's also appealing I think?

A detail:

Resolves whenever SBF is either dead or a free man

So if SBF is freed after 19 years this resolves 10-20 even if he commits more crimes and is jailed again.

sold Ṁ8 YES

25 year sentence.

Expect half off for good behavior.

He can still appeal his sentence?

Not sure what this market is doing.

@MartinRandall I guess he might die. AFAIK he can't get half off for good behaviour for this, only max 15% off

@MartinRandall Thank you!

Quite interesting to see if his coming out effects sentencing of the SBF?

Quite a pivot!

@Mirek sociopath with a list fetish

bought Ṁ25 YES

Looks like the prosecution is recommending 40-50. Can't really imagine them going higher https://apnews.com/article/sam-bankman-fried-court-ftx-21b1fd99ac841d7fe90b90c96c3a9a5d

@Marnix reminder that this market is about how many years he actually serves in prison, not the sentence. People sentenced to 40-50 years get out after half that or less

sold Ṁ10 YES

@JonathanRay USUALLY get out after half that or less 😛

Plus, yeah, there's no guarantee that he'll even get the full recommended sentence

I wonder who he's linking up with in the big house?

Since this question will wait until SBF dies or is freed from prison before resolving, which could take many decades, I have opened a new question about how many months SBF will be sentenced to in March 2024.

Actuarial tables give him 45 years, I think 40-50 is probably still underbought even if he's sentenced to 50+ (Or I'm missing something obvious).

@Sailfish nobody serves the amount they're sentenced to

@Sailfish Do the tables account for the health effects of being in a US prison for 50 years?

The combined statutory maximum for the list of charges he was convicted of would be 65 years
