can anyone tell me the justification for putting Samuel Bankman-fried in prison for 25 years but Trump gets a fine? Is it federal vs. state? (lemmy.world)

Pretty much what the title says. I know he's a former president and has all of his supporters, but what's the official reason? Thanks.

Going by that logic, hasn't Trump defrauded big banks rich people have huge amounts of assets in?

    I didn't say he was an ideal vessel. He's just managed to somehow be cool(?)er than they are with the population, and they benefit still. I don't mean like some illuminati type BS, just a matter of happy coincidences, and a few convenient occasional suggestions I'd imagine. Oh, and money.

    Besides, the amount he's defrauded is essentially chump change once you consider insurance and assets etc.
