Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of FTX, is seeking a lenient sentence and preparing to appeal his conviction for fraud. His legal team, including high-profile lawyer Marc Mukasey, is set to file a memo arguing against a potential life sentence before his sentencing on March 28. Bankman-Fried's family and supporters are working to reverse his conviction and change the public narrative about his leadership at FTX.
Danelo Cavalcante, a convicted killer who escaped from a Pennsylvania prison last month, was believed to be heading to Brazil to face a homicide charge with a much lighter sentence compared to the life sentence he received in the U.S. for killing his girlfriend. The Brazilian prosecutor in charge of his case stated that Cavalcante would have to comply with more lenient prison rules in Brazil and could potentially be released after about 12 years for good behavior. Cavalcante was captured after nearly two weeks on the run and is scheduled for a court hearing in Brazil in October.
