The plea at this point is just simply how much actual time he spends in Club Fed. If it's more than a year and a day I will be surprised. Actually if it even is a year and a day I will be surprised.
The other two pled out to simple fraud -- the girl turned state's evidence. Neither is in jail, nor is SBF.
Cryptocrime pays better than Crypto, everyone involved will make out like bandits -- certainly the PLA coders that built out FTX and Alameda are living it up after they simply boogied out of the Bahamas back to HK Penthouse Valley, literally just a day after Zhao imploded FTX, hell they were probably working for Zhao -- they have cash stuffed everywhere. Pick it up, take a boat to Aruba or a flight to a non-extradition country of your choice.
BTW, this just happened...

Oh lookie here...
"Late on 11 November, over $473 million in funds were siphoned from FTX through what Ryne Miller, FTX US's general counsel, characterized as "unauthorized transactions". Miller announced that FTX and FTX US intended to move remaining funds denominated in cryptocurrency to offline "cold storage" for security. The funds taken from FTX were mostly stablecoins such as Tether, and were quickly exchanged for Ether, a method used by cryptocurrency thieves to thwart attempts to retrieve stolen funds." - wikipedia
