Defense calls the 100-year suggested sentence "grotesque," arguing conduct was not motivated by greed.
Attorneys for Sam Bankman-Fried requested a sentencing range of 63 to 78 months, citing his philanthropy and the "zero loss" subtotal calculation. The filing argues that a decades-long sentence would end his ability to lead a meaningful life and contribute back to society.
The filing objects to the $10 billion loss estimate provided in pre-sentence reports.
