The Justice Department has decided not to prosecute Sam Bankman Fried.
Not exactly.
From Wikipedia.org:
The trial ended on November 2, 2023, with the jury pronouncing Bankman-Fried guilty on all seven counts. The sentencing hearing is scheduled for March 28, 2024.[121] Federal criminal court sentencing experts suggest he likely faces decades in prison, with some experts suggesting Bankman-Fried could receive a sentence of 100-years.[11][10]
Second trial
A second trial, on five charges including bank fraud and bribery, is scheduled for early March 2024. These charges were brought by federal prosecutors after Bankman-Fried was extradited from the Bahamas in December 2022. Bankman-Fried had asked for these charges to be dismissed because they were not part of the extradition agreement with Bahamanian authorities, or alternatively he requested it be resolved under a separate trial.[122][13]
