Lessons on Fraud Prevention from Sam Bankman-Fried's Crypto

This course chronicles the decisions that led to the arrest of Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), and helps participants understand the consequences that will follow for people charged with business-related crimes. Authorities arrested SBF pursuant to a grand jury indictment that charged him with wire fraud, securities fraud, money laundering, and related conspiracy charges. This lesson chronicles how the former billionaire's business decisions exposed him to criminal charges that include potential penalties of more than 100 years in federal prison for his alleged role in defrauding investors who trusted in his ability to make ethical decisions. Participants will learn about the criminal justice process, including indictments, arrest, extradition, judicial proceedings, mitigation, sentencing, prison, and collateral consequences. This event may be a rebroadcast of a live event and the instructor will be available to answer your questions during the event.
