<< Holmes and Bankman-Fried

Not for nothing, but Bankman's exposure was 110 years. He got 25 and that is after a massive public outcry, due to glove treatment resulting in him[2] and his parents[3], apparently, trying to derail investigation. Normally, as I understand it, the system would clamp down on anyone trying to subvert it. So the guy did get a light sentence given the circumstances.

Holmes I had less exposure to so I don't want to rely on just search engine since I am not sure what I am looking for.

I want white collar criminals to see justice, but sentencing in the USA is crazy extreme. 25 years plus a lifetime ban on securities trading is just fine.
