SBF wanted to restore its reputation

If you've been in the cryptocurrency world a little longer, you probably remember the FTX crash. In November 2022, the cryptocurrency exchange went bankrupt, leading to a deeper and longer decline than expected.
Sam Bankman-Fried, also known as SBF, was behind the crash. In November 2023, SBF was convicted of a number of serious crimes, including fraud and conspiracy to defraud.
SBF was once considered the "messiah" of the cryptocurrency industry. Today, however, nothing remains of its good reputation. New documents show that the former FTX CEO had a different plan to improve its image before he was convicted.
Former FTX CEO's secret plans 'SBF'
After the collapse of FTX, all the blame was blamed on the CEO of SBF. Of course, that was fair, but he hoped that his reputation could still be salvaged.
One of his plans was to begin negotiations with Tucker Carlson, a famous and controversial American television host. According to the plan, SBF was to present himself as a Republican in a conversation with him and thus gain additional support.
Another of SBF's plans involved social media platforms. According to the documents, he was to tell his side of the story through social media. It included "sordid details about what went on behind the scenes as well as legal mistakes."
SBF also considered blaming Alameda, its sister company, and spreading the news against Binance.
Prosecutors aren't done with the former "king of cryptocurrencies"
According to prosecutors, all of these plans only confirm the far-reaching manipulative techniques that the SBF was looking into.
Meanwhile, Sam is already under lock and key and will remain so for the time being. Recently, prosecutors announced their demands for punishment. They are demanding that SBF be imprisoned for up to 50 years.
At its peak, the FTX cryptocurrency empire was worth 32 billion dollars. That amount has completely evaporated and another $10 billion has disappeared from clients' assets. Although SBF has always maintained its innocence, several former associates have testified against them. They have also pleaded guilty.
