March 6, between four gray walls and clicks on the poles, Sam Banman fried his 33 candles. Celebrating far from the golden lining of her period FTX, but under the reflector of the scandal, which still shakes the crypto. A former boy of cryptocurrency, sentenced to 25 years in prison, brings from his cell version of his history, where innocence and political calculation are linked.
Since its fall, Sam Banmanm has been fried (SBF) he has cultivated the art of paradox. In his interview with Tucker Carlson, broadcast on March 6, he presents himself as a victim of a blind judicial system while outlining the blink of Republicans. “I never asked for illegitimate help,” he said, admitting that he had financed campaigns on both sides. A double game that raises questions: are trying to seduce Trump’s voters for the presidential mercy?
The details of his prison life, such as his diet based on rice and beans, contrast with the image of a billionaire of miraculous. SBF, however, does not give up control of the story
By selecting conservative media, a media canvas intertwines that could serve its interests. His relatives evoke a possible request for forgiveness from Trump, whose victory in November would cut a new agreement.
In the end, his discourse about the regulation of the surprise of Kryptos. The one who helped weaken the sector requires a “balanced” framework. A position that sounds like a call for help, but also as an attempt to remain relevant in space that has already pushed it to the rank of deposit.
FTX shadow on crypto: an earthquake that persists
The FTX collapse in 2022 left an indelible scar. If the court proceedings are approaching, the consequences on the crypto ecosystem are tangible. Caroline Ellison’s beliefs, Ryan Salame or Gary Wang remember that the fall was collective.
But SBF persists, “I’m not a criminal”. Defense, which differs against billions of evaporated and persistent distrust of centralized platforms.
The sector is trying to reborn. US regulators tighten their tone while investors demand greater transparency. It is irony that Hollywood seizes a scandal for a film inspired by endless departure.
The crypto, often perceived as a digital farm, is paradoxically legitimized by this drama: evidence that it weighs enough to deserve epic accounts.
The question remains: Did the fall of SBF serve as a vaccine? Open practices are retreating, audits grow. But the bait resistant to the rapid profit. The spirit of the FTX aircraft recalls that innovation without ethics is a miracle.
At the age of 33 Sam Banman, fried now embodies two faces of crypt: his disturbing potential and his abyss. Behind bars he processes words like others algorithms and tries to rewrite his inheritance. His history between ambition and falling remains a warning to the sector in search of maturity. Trump formalizes a bitcoin reserve, crypto survives FTX, but does not forget its modern ICarus.
