Fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried Set To Leave Prison Four Years Early As 'Good Conduct' Credits Trim His 25-Year Sentence
- Sam Bankman-Fried, former FTX CEO, was sentenced in March 2024 to 25 years for orchestrating an $11 billion crypto fraud involving customer funds diversion.
- His conviction followed a 2023 trial where prosecutors showed he commingled FTX customer funds with his hedge fund Alameda Research to enrich himself and associates.
- Bankman-Fried is serving time at FCI Terminal Island, a low-security prison in San Pedro, California, after transfer from Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center.
- The Federal Bureau of Prisons estimates he may be released by December 14, 2044, over four years early, due to good conduct credits totaling up to 54 days per year.
- This sentence reduction illustrates how federal inmates earn time off for behavior and programs, but Bankman-Fried’s appeal and actual release date remain uncertain.
