  • SBF sentenced to 25 years for $8 billion customer loss and over $3 billion investor and lender losses.
  • FTX selling stake in Anthropic for $884 million, potentially repaying customers and creditors.
  • SBF's legitimate investments in Anthropic and Solana proved successful.
  • Alameda Research, SBF's hedge fund, misused customer deposits, leading to FTX's collapse.
