Comparison of Sentences: CZ vs. SPF

CZ, the CEO and founder of Binance, pleaded guilty to violations of the Bank Secrecy Act and was sentenced to four months in prison. In contrast, Sam Bankman-Freed (SPF), the CEO of FTX, was convicted of seven felony accounts, including wire fraud, and sentenced to 25 years in prison, 75 times longer than CZ's sentence.
