FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried’s attorneys called for leniency in a sentencing submission filed late Tuesday, arguing that “a sentence that returns Sam promptly to a productive role in society” is most appropriate in his case.

Bankman-Fried’s attorneys at Mukasey Young, led by Marc Mukasey, described the 100-year sentence recommendation in Bankman-Fried’s presentence report as “barbaric” and “grotesque,” arguing that a sentence of six and a half years or less would be suitable.
