Sam Bankman-Fried, who was convicted last month of stealing from customers of his now-bankrupt FTX cryptocurrency exchange, will not face a second trial on separate charges in the case, including campaign finance violations.
In a letter filed on Friday night in federal court in Manhattan, prosecutors said the 'strong public interest' in a prompt resolution of their case against the 31-year-old former billionaire outweighed the benefits of a second trial.
Prosecutors said that interest 'weighs particularly heavily here,' given that Bankman-Fried's scheduled March 28 sentencing will likely include orders of forfeiture and restitution for victims of his crimes.

Excuse me stewardess, I speak lawyer…. He said if we try Sam again too many politicians’ names will come out, maybe including your’s Judge!
Reveal all donations AND make him serve serious jail time - sorta like Madoff.
Yes.
One of the biggest RAT bundlers and patsy for deep state - cia/fbi money laundering.
Could it because he donated to the Democrats???
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
could it be that he donated to M&M
McConnell & McCarthy??
SBF was Bi Partisan
Rob the bank of hundreds $$$,go to jail.
Steal hundreds of millions $$ and bribe your way free.
Exactly!
That is why they are not pursuing it. It is the Chicago way.
The “Strong Public Interest” is to know who he donated to. This prosecutor is a party hack.
Set up to be and always was a money laundering operation. Things just went astray when he was overcome by greed, and thought because of who was backing him that he could get away with it. I’m just surprised he hasn’t been suicided.
Nope...The Big Guy’s Department of Just Us doesn’t want anyone talking about political contributions in open court. That just wouldn’t do!
H. L. Mencken said there are two reasons anyone does anything, the good reason and the real reason. The good reason is that he’s going to prison for forever anyway, so it’s a waste of time and money. The real reason is that the second trial would implicate Democrats.
Yet.
He’s kept his and his family’s mouth’s shut…so far. He’ll tire of being Bubba’s buddy and will complain to momma, then…
Yet.

SBF parents + Caroline Ellison’s parents are all DS/demo party apparatchiks
I wonder what Dinesh DeSousa has to say about that? Where’s Obama on this? He takes a very dim view of this sort of thing.
Confirmed. We have a two tiered justice system. Now what?
Low hanging fruit for a future Trump prosecutor. Sam and his family are part of the RICO communist take over run by the DNC. Without laws enforced its the wild west.
“Could it because he donated to the Democrats???”
Exactly, it’s Garlands way of telling Democrat politicians who took his dirty money, they won’t have to give it back. Garland and Eric Holder are the two biggest dirtbags in history to have ever held the AG office
