FTX sold up to 30 million SOL to venture capital companies such as Pantera Capital and Galaxy Trading at a price of $64 per coin, a significant decrease of 62% from the current market price. The SOL will be locked for four years and cannot be sold. The transaction is expected to bring FTX about $1.9 billion in revenue and is positioned as an important step in repaying creditors.

Former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried Sentenced to 25 Years in Prison for Fraud Charges

The sentence is less than the 105 years recommended by the Department of Probation, but higher than what Bankman-Fried and his lawyers were hoping for. Bankman-Fried plans to shift the media narrative surrounding his case in an attempt to rehabilitate his reputation, but Judge Lewis Kaplan emphasized the seriousness of his actions and the risk he poses to society.

In a victim impact statement written by Ray on behalf of FTX and its subsidiaries, Ray told New York District Court Judge Lewis Kaplan that SBF's claim that its exchange had the ability to pay was a "delusional" statement that was an "inaccurate description" of the January statement by the estate committee. Ray stated that when he took over, the exchange had almost no funds, with only 105 bitcoins remaining, while customers were entitled to nearly 100,000 bitcoins.
