The co-founder of Terraform Labs, Do Kwon, was sentenced on Thursday to 15 years in federal prison for orchestrating a $40 billion cryptocurrency fraud, a sentence notably lighter than the 25 years handed down last year to FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), despite Kwon's fraud causing nearly four times the financial damage.
The disparity in sentencing highlights how behavior in the courtroom, remorse, and cooperation with authorities can dramatically influence outcomes in high-profile white-collar cases.
