Seems low for what prosecutors consider "one of the biggest financial frauds in U.S. history." https://www.reuters.com/technology/sam-bankman-fried-be-sent...
Earlier quoted context omitted.
25 years is a long time. Not saying he doesn't deserve more but his parents will probably be dead by the time he gets out, and he wont have a family. Also, he was addicted to the internet (supposedly), he wont have access to that either.
It seems unlikely he will serve that full time though I don’t know the specific parole eligibility constraints for these charges.

What’s with the sudden turn to “haha everyone was wrong in the past” on here? There’s nothing wrong with being wrong. What’s the point?
Why does the title on Hacker News have "SBF" while the article title has his full name?

If someone isn't a violent threat to society, there isn't much social benefit to keeping folks locked up longer then 20-ish years. 20-25 (assuming he gets the 15% off for good behavior the feds allow) is plenty.
If an otherwise peaceful person is committing fraud on a scale 1000 times larger than the next guy, wouldn’t it at least scale up logarithmically?
If he’s eligible for parole at 1/3 of a 25 year sentence, he will spend anywhere from between 8 years, 4 months in prison or 25 years. That would make him somewhere between 40 and 57 when he gets out.
