Sam Bankman-Fried, whose FTX cryptocurrency exchange collapsed last year, was found guilty on all seven charges of fraud and conspiracy. Prosecutors said he orchestrated a scheme to steal as much as $10 billion from his users.
I’ll be honest. I don’t give a fuck about Sam. Did he cost people their life savings in some cases? Yes. Did he commit fraud? Yes.

Journalists gotta do their jobs, but this is so low on the totem pole of newsworthy.
