SBF 25 years after his sentence: Will he appeal? Can he still make money?
Author | Protos
Compilation | Wu Talks about Blockchain
While some celebrated the fact that SBF was finally sentenced by a judge to 25 years in prison for his multi-billion dollar fraud, others felt that the punishment was too harsh for a non-violent first-time offender.
Whatever your view, it’s safe to say that when the crypto trial of the century finally came to a close, nearly everyone involved breathed a sigh of relief.
However, this judgment comes with some strings attached and opportunities that are worth exploring in depth about what we might see next.
appeal
SBF has made it clear that he not only believes the appeals process will grant him freedom, he’s willing to sacrifice his own comfort and safety to do so. As Protos contributor David Z. Morris noted on X, SBF filed a request to remain at the notorious Metropolitan Detention Center in New York to be closer to his legal team, rather than being transferred to a prison in California to be closer to his parents.

Wu says daily selected crypto news + this week's macro indicators
1. CoinShares report: After halving, the average production cost of Bitcoin is about $53,000, and miners may turn to artificial intelligence
After the Bitcoin halving, miners face a significant increase in costs, with electricity and overall costs almost doubling, and the average Bitcoin production cost is expected to be about $53,000. Mining companies may turn to the field of artificial intelligence and try to reduce costs by optimizing energy costs and mining efficiency, but the potential benefits of investing obsolete computing equipment in the field of AI may be higher. Mining companies such as BitDigital, Hive and Hut 8 have already earned revenue from the field of AI.
