Sam Bankman-Fried BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Sam Bankman-Fried remains behind bars, serving a 25-year sentence after being convicted last fall on seven counts including fraud, conspiracy, and money laundering in one of the largest financial crimes in U.S. history, according to CBS News. The collapse of FTX, which prosecutors say resulted in more than $8 billion in customer losses, continues to define his legacy, with the exchange only now beginning to repay victims almost two years after its implosion. While Bankman-Fried's legal team has mounted an appeal, arguing that he was the victim of a public rush to judgment, there have been no major judicial developments in the past few days—the case is still in the post-conviction phase, with no indication of imminent breakthroughs.However, speculation about his future has absolutely dominated crypto circles and beyond, following President Donald Trump's surprise pardon this past week of Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, the Binance founder. This move sent shockwaves through prediction markets and social media, where chatter about a potential “SBF pardon” exploded overnight. Polymarket, the crypto prediction platform, saw odds for a Trump pardon of Bankman-Fried spike from under 6% to as high as 17% in under 12 hours, according to CoinCentral and TheStreet, with hundreds of thousands of dollars now riding on the bet. A separate Polymarket contract asking whether he will be released from custody this year briefly hit 19% before stabilizing around 15%. But here's the thing: this is pure speculation, fueled by wishful thinking, online memes, and a flurry of headlines—there's zero credible evidence that Trump is considering such a move, and legal analysts like Jake Chervinsky of Variant Fund, quoted by CoinCentral, are openly skeptical, noting Bankman-Fried's Democratic mega-donor past and the gravity of his convictions.Still, the buzz is loud enough that Bankman-Fried's mother and associates have reportedly been quietly seeking allies in Trump's orbit, and his social media presence—ostensibly operated by a friend—has playfully retweeted memes about the pardon odds, according to TheStreet, sparking further online chatter. Meanwhile, Caroline Ellison, his former colleague and ex-girlfriend, was just sentenced to 24 months in prison for her role in the FTX fraud, according to CBS News, a development that serves as another reminder of the scope of the scandal.In the broader culture, the paperback edition of Michael Lewis's “Going Infinite,” which chronicled Bankman-Fried's rise and fall, is about to hit shelves with a new afterword—likely stirring fresh debate about his true character and culpability. While Bankman-Fried himself remains in FCI-Terminal Island prison, the narrative around him is anything but static: a mix of serious legal consequences, feverish prediction market action, and the occasional ironic meme, all reflecting a cultural obsession with one of crypto's most infamous figures. No public appearances, no major business moves—just the ongoing saga of a fallen billionaire, a presidential pardon rumor mill, and a public still trying to make sense of it all.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Sam Bankman-Fried BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Sam Bankman-Fried has once again managed to command headlines despite not having physically left his prison cell. This past week his verified social media account jolted to life with the terse message “gm” shorthand for “good morning” in crypto lingo on Tuesday. According to reporting from U Today and CoinDesk the simplicity of the post set off a thunderclap across the industry racking up over 4.5 million views and unleashing rampant speculation among his followers. The carefully timed chirp was Bankman-Fried's first public activity on X in months and immediately triggered a 24 percent spike in the price of the FTT token the native asset of his bankrupt FTX exchange. Some trading platforms registered even higher jumps in FTT price with CoinCentral and Bitcoinist suggesting a brief 32 to 45 percent price surge in a matter of hours. Market watchers and investors rushed to guess whether SBF was somehow back online or even out of prison only for a friend managing his account to confirm that the message was posted on Bankman-Fried's behalf from outside—a clarification which did little to stem the meme storm or the price action.While many in the crypto world greeted the post with dry skepticism and humor industry insiders noted the undeniable long-term impact these digital aftershocks still have on market sentiment around FTX and the ongoing bankruptcy process. Bankman-Fried is currently serving a 25-year sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution Terminal Island in Los Angeles for one of the largest financial frauds in recent memory. Convicted in November 2023 on seven counts of fraud and conspiracy after the dramatic 2022 FTX collapse he remains a singular figure whose online presence even if brief and mediated still disrupts markets and public perception.Meanwhile in business news the legal and financial afterlife of his failed empire continues to play out. According to Banking Dive the FTX Recovery Trust recently filed a $1.15 billion lawsuit against crypto miner Genesis Digital Assets aiming to claw back what it calls one of SBF's most “reckless” investments. The suit alleges Bankman-Fried invested more than a billion dollars in GDA between 2021 and 2022 based on egregiously unaudited financials and glaring red flags a move that has since become a touchstone of the excess and negligence fueling FTX's collapse. The litigation underscores how Bankman-Fried's financial decisions continue to haunt creditors and partners striving to recoup losses. Adding to the drama FTX estate officials are set to distribute $1.6 billion to creditors beginning September 30—a high-stakes move that promises to keep his story in the business headlines for months to come.No new public appearances or verified interviews have emerged since Bankman-Fried's sentencing in 2023 though his name remains a fixture in podcasts and investigative specials revisiting the saga of FTX's rise and spectacular ruin. For all the gossip and speculation Sam Bankman-Fried's ability to roil markets from inside a federal penitentiary remains a testament to his ongoing and extraordinary status as the crypto world's most notorious cautionary tale.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Sam Bankman-Fried BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Sam Bankman-Fried, once lionized as the young billionaire behind FTX, now finds himself defining the aftermath of crypto's biggest collapse and the legal maelstrom that's followed. Headlines lit up this week with confirmation that his next major court showdown will happen November 4, 2025, at the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. This marks the first substantial activity in his high-profile case since his transfer back in March from New York to Terminal Island federal prison in California, where he's set to remain until his scheduled release in 2044 barring any success on appeal. According to Cointelegraph and CoinPaper, his legal team maintains that the original trial was fundamentally unfair, arguing SBF was denied the presumption of innocence and alleging prosecutors falsely painted FTX customer funds as permanently lost. If the appellate judges rule in his favor, a new trial or resentencing could transform his fate, with ripple effects for how courts approach financial fraud tied to crypto.Still, it isn't just the November appeal date keeping Bankman-Fried in the headlines. Earlier this week, AOL and The New York Times reported that SBF was thrown into solitary confinement after conducting a surprise unauthorized video interview with Tucker Carlson from his Brooklyn cell, a move widely seen as part of a desperate campaign for a presidential pardon. That interview — the latest chapter in his publicly documented 19-point plan to rehab his image — had him espousing Republican views and railing against ‘the woke agenda,' allegedly part of a strategy floated to federal prosecutors. Though he's never formally requested a pardon, speculation around Donald Trump possibly intervening remains rampant but unsubstantiated, especially after Trump's surprise pardon of Ross Ulbricht, creator of the Silk Road, earlier this year. No concrete signs suggest Bankman-Fried will be next.On the business front, Bankman-Fried's name surfaced in connection with Three Arrows Capital's $1.5 billion forced liquidation. CoinCentral and fast-moving crypto news accounts on X report a possible subpoena could see him testify from prison on October 14, 2025, about allegations he illegally liquidated the hedge fund's positions during FTX's final days — yet another twist linking 3AC's summer 2022 collapse to FTX's own implosion later that year.Social media, predictably, is ablaze with every move. SBF's X account recently pinned posts suggesting the FTX bankruptcy was engineered by outside legal counsel, notably Sullivan & Cromwell and John Ray III, focusing on legal fees over customer payouts — a claim echoing his legal defense and fueling fiery debate among crypto loyalists. Meanwhile, FTX creditors saw a fresh $1.9 billion payout this September, according to Crypto.news, though nearly $1.4 billion in claims remain tangled in legal deadlock.Ultimately, the headlines say it all: ‘Sam Bankman-Fried Faces November Appeal Hearing in New York' and ‘SBF thrown in solitary after Tucker Carlson interview' capture the drama. His every move remains a lightning rod, with the upcoming November hearing set to define his legacy for years to come.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Feb. 2, 2018, Can Blockchain Technology Solve Copyright Attribution Challenges of Digital Work? by Dr. Hadar Mazor, on IPWatchdog.com Practical blockchain purposes to solve copyright attribution problems: Efforts are being invested in leveraging blockchain technology to resolve challenges associated with copyright attribution to provide acknowledgment of copyright of a digital work of art to its holder or author. Problem: A digital work of art primarily exists in the form of intangible artifact and the digital work of art may not fit the form of the high-stakes international art market, which continues to rely on unique, original, tangible objects. Since a digital work of art does not yield artifacts that can be easily owned and traded in a conventional sense, their value may not be appropriately estimated. Copyright and other intellectual property tools are frequently employed to countervail this problem but with little success. Difficulty with this model: "Nonetheless, decentralized blockchain data storing technology relies on the trust of the group." She looks at a product called "NKOR" which "aims at utilizing a decentralized, cryptographically secure database blockchain-based technology, to document the recordation, reproduction, distribution and trade of digital works of art." http://www.ipwatchdog.com/2018/02/02/blockchain-technology-solve-copyright-attribution-digital-work/id=93161/ http://nkor.io 4.
