Conspiracy theorists should accept that SBF is likely going to prison

While Protos, by virtue of being a news outlet, has avoided the truly unhinged and off-base takes making waves on X and YouTube regarding the Sam Bankman-Fried case, they’re worth disc US sing for one reason.

Alleged multi-billion-dollar fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried is reportedly preparing to offer a group of friends and former colleagues up to $1,200 an hour to testify on his behalf at his October trial. As reported by Bloomberg Law, according to a letter filed in New York earlier this week, the group of up to seven ‘expert witnesses’ will be asked to shed light on campaign finance laws, FTX and its software, and hedge fund affiliate Alameda Research.
