NEW YORK: Disgraced cryptocurrency wunderkind Sam Bankman-Fried is set to be sentenced March 28 following his conviction in one of the biggest financial fraud cases in history.

US prosecutors are seeking a prison term of 40-50 years after a New York jury found Bankman-Fried, known by his initials SBF, guilty in November following a five-week trial that probed the one-time high roller's spectacular fall.
