The Spin

Establishment-critical narrative

Bankman-Fried is not the villain prosecutors and the media eagerly depict him as. He's a misunderstood genius who created a brilliant company from the ground up. He should be allowed to rectify his mistakes — which did not amount to an intentional criminal act — rather than being sent to prison for an obscenely long time.

CNBC

Pro-establishment narrative

Bankman-Fried should consider himself lucky his sentence isn't as long as the one he truly deserves. He intentionally and callously defrauded customers and investors of billions and continues to lie while showing no remorse. He'll now have a long time behind bars to reconsider his mistakes.
