    Who is Sam Bankman-Fried, the onetime crypto mogul facing decades in prison?

    A few years after graduating from college, Sam Bankman-Fried grew worried he was not taking enough risks. So the son of two Stanford Law School professors quit his Wall Street job and in 2017 started a cryptocurrency hedge fund, setting off a sequence of events that will culminate on Thursday with his sentencing over what federal prosecutors have called one of the biggest financial frauds in U.S. history. Prosecutors are seeking 40 to 50 years behind bars for 32-year-old Bankman-Fried, while his defense lawyers have argued he should receive less than 5-1/4 years.
