Sam Bankman-Fried's sentence of 25 years puts him at the high end for sentence length in prominent white-collar fraud cases. He faced over 100 years in prison under federal sentencing guidelines.
Ahead of him is Bernard Madoff, who was sentenced to 150 years behind bars for the $20 billion Ponzi scheme he led — the largest financial fraud in history. He died around 12 years into his sentence.
Theranos founder and CEO Elizabeth Holmes, meanwhile, is serving a much shorter sentence than Bankman-Fried. Holmes was convicted on four charges of defrauding investors while running the failed blood-testing startup Theranos. She faced a maximum of 20 years in prison but was sentenced to a little over 11 years. She began serving her sentence in May of last year.
Her counterpart, Ramesh "Sunny" Balwani, the former COO of Theranos and ex-boyfriend of Holmes, was sentenced to nearly 13 years in prison. He also faced up to 20 years.
