TL;DR Summary

FTX's new CEO, John Ray, criticized co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried for living in a "delusion" ahead of his sentencing for stealing $8 billion from customers of the now-bankrupt exchange. Ray disputed Bankman-Fried's claims that the bankruptcy was unnecessary and that funds would be returned to FTX's clients, stating that many accounts had fewer assets than believed. Bankman-Fried faces a maximum sentence of 110 years behind bars, with prosecutors seeking 40 to 50 years in prison and the defense arguing for a 5¼- to 6½-year term.
