The 25-year sentence for the former crypto mogul sends a crucial message to an industry that’s still yet to complete the clean-up it sorely needs.

Already a subscriber?The sentencing of cryptocurrency wunderkind turned convicted fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried to 25 years in jail along with the forfeiture of more than $US11 billion looks like a fair outcome.
