Business / LATEST NEWS Crypto King, Sam Bankman-fried Sentenced To 25 Years In Prison by Bobp(m): 6:13pm On Mar 28
Crypto king, Sam Bankman-Fried sentenced to 25
years in prison.


American entrepreneur and
crypto king, Sam Bankman-
Fried was sentenced Thursday
to 25 years in prison for his
role in defrauding users of the
collapsed cryptocurrency
exchange FTX.

In a federal courtroom in lower
Manhattan, United States
District Judge Lewis Kaplan
called the defense argument
misleading, logically flawed,
and speculative.

Kaplan said Bankman-Fried had
obstructed justice and
tampered with witnesses in
mounting his defense —
something Kaplan said he
weighed in his sentencing
decision.


After a two-hour hearing the
judge, Lewis Kaplan, said
Bankman-Fried knew what he
was doing was criminal and
regretted making a bad bet
about the likelihood of being
caught.


Bankman-Fried, wearing a
beige jailhouse jumpsuit,
struck an apologetic tone,
saying he had made a series of
“selfish” decisions while
leading FTX and “threw it all
away.”

“It haunts me every day,” he
said in a statement. “There are
a lot of mistakes that I
made.”

Bankman-Fried, however, told
the court that FTX had the
ability to repay customers
when it collapsed.

Meanwhile, the prosecutors
said Bankman-Fried took more
than $10bn (£7.9bn) from
unsuspecting customers in
“one of the biggest financial
frauds” in US history.


FTX was valued at $32bn
before it went bankrupt in
2022 and SBF crafted a public
image that drew in celebrities,
politicians and business titans.
Prosecutors had sought as
much as 50 years, while
Bankman-Fried’s legal team
argued for no more than six
and half years.

He was convicted on seven
criminal counts in November
and has been held at the
Metropolitan Detention Center
in Brooklyn since.

THE SCHOOL GHOST Episode 4 Written by Bobp the writer St Anthony high school buzzed with pandemonium screams. Teachers sprinted, their footsteps echoing like a desperate symphony. Amaka lay motionless on the cold floor, her skin mottled with ven0mous bites. The ambulance wailed outside, its urgency a stark contrast to the eerie silence that enveloped the classroom. As the paramedics rushed in, they expected to find the snake the girls had described to the school authority. The dreadful creature, but there was no serpent. Only the aftermath of its cruelty etched into Amaka's flesh. Richards bag was back to his seating position, appearing untouched, it's almost as if the bag had teleported itself back to Richards desk. Esther and adanna exchanged puzzled glances at each other. Mrs. Alice, her face ashen, knelt beside Amaka along with other teachers. "How can this be?" she whispered. "Where is the snake?" The other teachers gathered, their disbelief palpable. They had scoured every nook, every crevice of the school. Yet, no serpent had revealed itself. The bites defied logic an invisible assailant, a phantom predator. The nearly deceased friend, Esther and adanna stood at the threshold, along with other students. It was such a terrible view, such sight could make the strongest man's heart to melt . Esther was boiling in anger, her eyes were wide, her grief raw. "He must have known we were trying to frame him" Esther whispered into adanna's ears with the anticipation of mild sobs. Richard sat in the corner, his gaze fixed on the dy!ng amaka. He took his bag during the scene, then crossed it over his chest, nothing seems to harm him. Esther sprinted to meet richard, her voice ablazed. "You killed her," she accused, her words slicing through the air. "You summoned that snake." Richard's eyes widened. "What are you talking about?". "You're ev!l " Esther voice cracked. "You've always been different, because of you my best friend is dead." The classroom seemed to hold its breath. Students peeked through the door, their faces pale. They had witnessed the tragedy of Amaka bitten by an unseen menace, the teachers were confused seeing Esther accusing richard of being a wizard. "He must have summon the snake " Esther sobs along with adanna. The students argument was interrupted by the rescue team, raising Mrs Alice's cell phone from above the air. Mrs Alice widening her countenance. "how did my cell phone gets transported itself to amaka's pockets? unbelievable". During the tumult, Richards eyes glowed an otherworldly luminescence aimed at Esther. The strange lights from his eyes consumed her irises, Esther staggered, her vision begins to fade. Darkness crept from the edges, devouring her sight. "What's happening?" Esther's voice tremble. The teachers watched, witnessed a supernatural phenomenon reckoning on Esther's sight. TBC.....

THE SCHOOL GHOST
Episode 3
Written by Bobp the writer
Amaka was always been the
nimble one, when it comes to
pickpocket and bullying.
After their discussion, she took
her biology note as a disguise for
her scheme.
She sneaked through the staff
room unnoticed, her heart began
to beat faster than the average
human, thinking it would burst.
Mrs alice bag lay on her table
unguarded, scanning the entire
room hoping no one was passing.
She tucked and dip her hands
into Mrs Alice bag, then grasp her
phone sleightly.
After Amaka had successfully
taken Mrs Alice's phone she felt a
rush of adrenaline.
Concealing it in between her note
book, then went back to her
friends.
Adanna persisted strongly,
stating it was a bad idea, but
amaka fired back
After all she wasn't selected to
do the job, because she has
already volunteered to do it for
Esther.
After esther had described
richard's bag feature to her.
Amaka tiptoed to the science
class, she glanced around,
ensuring no prying eyes watched
her.
The phone would be her leverage.
Her ticket to tarnish richards
reputation for making Mrs Alice
flog her best friend for nothing.
"I will make sure you leave this
school with disgrace". amaka said
scornfully while soliloquizing.
On getting to Richards sit, she
opened his bag, ready to frame
him, not knowing what fate had
install for her.
As she reached for the zipper of
Richard's bag, something sharp
pierced her finger.
Pain shot up her arm, and she
yanked her hand back.
Confusion clouded her mind. Why
would the zip sting like that? It
was just a bag nothing more.
Curiosity gnawed at her. She
couldn't resist.
Amaka raised the bag, and her
breath caught in her throat.
Coiled within, like a sinister secret
waiting to be revealed, rised a
brown serpent.
Its scales shimmered in the dark
area of Richards bag, and its eyes
fixed on amaka, like a predator
assessing its prey.
Before she could react, the snake
str!ke her wrist, F@ngs sank into
her hand ven0m searing through
her veins.
Amaka's cry echoed through the
corridors, bouncing off the cold
walls.
Panic surged, and she stumbled
backward, knocking over a chair.
The snake released her, slithering
back into the depths of the bag.
Esther and Adanna who were
looking out for her at the exit
burst into the classroom.
Their faces masks of horror.
"What happened?" Adanna
demanded, her eyes wide.
Amaka's vision blurred. The pain
intensified, and her hand
throbbed.
"Sn@ke," she managed to gasp.
trying to reveal the dreadful
content from richards bag.
Fear gripped both girls instantly.
they backed away, their gaze
fixed on the bag.
Instead of helping Amaka from
the hands of danger itself, they
both flee.
Adanna bolted for the exit, and
Esther followed, slamming the
classroom door shut behind her.
Amaka was left alone, her fate
sealed by the serpent's ven0m,
as it keeps feasting on her flësh.

THE SCHOOL GHOST Episode 2 Written by Bobp the writer
The Midday break approached, leaving the schoolyard abuzz with boisterous activity. Boys kicked soccer balls, opposing their opponents with Swift pace, their laughter echoed against the gigantic school building. Girls huddled in clusters, sharing secrets and gossip. And then there was Esther, her fury ticked like a time bomb who's about to explode at any moment. She approached her best friends at the adjacent class, Amaka and Adanna, both equally intrigued by her distress. Amaka with her mischievous grin, was always ready for a scheme. Adanna, the quiet observer, had a way of seeing through the chaos to the heart of the matter. "I need your help, girls," Esther said, her voice low and seething. Amaka leaned in, her eyes gleaming. "Who made our babe angry?" Adanna raised an eyebrow. "Frowning your face won't help, babe, What's the matter?" Esther's lips curled. "There's this new guy in my class 'richard'. I got beaten by Mrs Alice during lesson periods, just because of him. He's faking the best student so that mrs Alice can like him...... And his eyes, I don't know how he do that.....he kind of control her to flog me....". "But Mrs Alice decided to beat you herself, it's not this Richards fault nah...?" Adanna cut in unannounced. Amaka interrupted, her tone indignant. "That's unacceptable, no one treat our bestie anyhow, we need to teach him a lesson babe." "You love revenge," Adanna murmured, her gaze steady. "This isn't about revenge, it's about making things right". Amaka fired back at adanna with a smirk on her face, amaka's wicked plan took shape. "Let's frame Richard," Amaka whispered. "Mrs. Alice won't like him so much when she thinks he's a thief." Esther's eyes widened. "How?" Amaka grin widened. "I'll steal Mrs. Alice's mobile phone while submitting my assignment. Then, before break ends, I'll plant it inside Richard's bag. Let's see how she defends him then." Esther hesitated. "But isn't that too much? I don't want him to get arrested just because of my anger for him, besides I was the one bullying him." Adanna's calm voice cut through the tension. "Esther, revenge won't heal your pride, better don't listen to this messenger of the devil, that's really dangerous. Richard may be new, that's because he hasn't blend, Let it pass." Amaka scoffed. "Adanna, you're too soft. don't come here and infect us with your cry baby heart." Esther weighed her options. The fire of anger still burned, but Adanna's words tugged at her conscience. Was revenge worth sacrificing Richard's innocence? "Well, I will take the lead to frame him, because that's what Best friend do, you mess with one of us, you mess with all of us". As the girls debated, the school bell chimed again, apprising the end of midbreak. TBC....

EPISODE 1
Writen by Bobp

The sun hung low in the sky,
casting long shadows across the
schoolyard of St. Anthony high
school.
Richard, the new boy, stood near
the entrance, his school bag slung
over one shoulder.
His eyes darted nervously as he
surveyed pass the unfamiliar
faces.
The other students chattered
excitedly, their curiosity piqued
by the arrival of a stranger.
Mrs. Alice, the biology teacher,
was in the middle of explaining
the intricacies of photosynthesis
when the door creaked open.
The principal, Mr. Thompson,
stepped inside, his stern
expression softened by a hint of
pride. He cleared his throat,
capturing the attention of the
entire class.
"Good morning, everyone," Mr.
Thompson said, his voice echoing
off the walls.
"We have a new student joining
us today. Richard, would you like
to introduce yourself?".
Richard shuffled forward, his
cheeks flushed. "Uh, hi," he
stammered. "I'm Richard.
The students exchanged glances,
Richard's accent was different,
his clothes slightly worn out.
But there was something about
the way he held himself a quiet
determination that intrigued
them.
Mrs. Alice smiled warmly.
"Welcome, Richard. We're glad to
have you. Please find an empty
seat."
As Richard settled into the back
row, the classroom vibrated with
giggles and mild laughters, writing
by remi the writer
Before Mrs Alice could ask the
reason for their silly laughs, the
bully, esther, leaned across the
aisle.
She hissed, her hisses were as
loud as the morning bell.
"Hey, Richard," she drawled. "Did
you win a scholarship".
The whole class resumes the
laughter, due to Esther's
question.
Richard pretended not to answer,
But Esther had cut through the
façade, exposing his vulnerability.
Mrs. Alice stepped forward, her
gaze was icy. "Esther," she said
sharply.
"Enough," she said, her voice
slicing through the giggles of the
students.
"I won't tolerate.......".
But she never finished.
Richard's eyes beamed an
outworldly phosphorescent White
glow that made Mrs alice stop
talking.
She blinked, wondering if she'd
accidentally ingested a fairy dust
during breakfast, Mrs. Alice felt a strange
compulsion, a sudden urge to pick
up her cane on her desk.
She could here Richards voice in a
state of trance, "Teach her a
lesson." echoed through her
eardrums.
Mrs. Alice hesitated. She'd never
been one for corporal
punishment.
But something primal stirred
within her. She raised the cane
then hit Esther.
The cane perfectly coiffed
Esther's head. The class gasped
in shock, Esther's rude facade
crumbled.
Her mischievous laughs d!ed
abruptly. The other students
exchanged bewildered glances
when they saw the wide glow on
Richard's eyes.
Each student whispered to each
other "What just happened? they
asked, glaring at the unlikely
scenario.
As Richard settled back into his
seat, the rest of the students
stole secret glances at him in the
state of dilemma.
"Who was he? Why did his gaze
hold such power? almost as if he
had instructed Mrs Alice to do
so?....

THE JESUS SLAY QUEENS
Episode 1 THE JESUS SLAY QUEENS Episode 1 © Ayo Omolayo "Juliet! Juliet!" Ella called. I quickly covered my phone with a pillow and jumped into a sitting position as the door opened. "Where have you been? She asked sticking her head through the door. "I thought we were waiting for Susan!" I said in defence. "Come on Juliet! You know very well that if you want to wait for Susan to finish praying, you would wait all day!" "Susan is such a praying machine! I envy her prayer life ooo!" I said smiling. "Dear! You can envy it when we get back. Let's be going jare! We have lost so much time". "Can't we wait a little bit more for Susan? I want the 3 of us to go! I'm tired of the 2 of us going by ourselves". The truth is, she was a great companion. But I had completely lost interest in going out to win souls. I knew it was time to go out for evangelism, but I wasn't willing to go anymore. Should I say I had completely lost interest or what? I don't know the right word that fits my unwillingness to go with them anymore. I wasn't a member of this house at all. Dad sent me to live here after I told him what happened to me. My parents were divorced and mum left me with dad and moved on with the man of her dreams. I'll never forgive her for that. She left me with dad was not the issue. She left me for good was the issue. I mean, I have heard stories of divorced parents who still had time to visit their kids and take them out once in a while. I expected my experience to be like that, but mum disappeared for good. No brake light is the right word. Dad was a sales representative for one of the biggest electronics company in Nigeria and that meant he had to travel alot. That was what I hated the most. I hated it when my dad had to leave me. I loved being alone, but he never wanted it that way. He had to hand me to a neighbour or a friend. I enjoyed my loneliness as it became an occasion for me to do whatever I wanted. But dad was sorely against it. I was tossed from one neighbour to another to look after. Different neighbours. At a point, I was angry with it and started showing my neighbours I was a bad girl. I got what I wanted. One after the other, neighbours started rejecting to look after me whenever my dad asked them to do so. I was tired of being handed over to one neighbour to look after. I wanted a family. I wanted a Dad and a mum. Was that too much for a 16 year old girl to ask for? When we were running out of neighbours, Dad decided to send me to live with his sister. I shouted and screamed at him that I wasn't going anywhere. I cursed and fought my way out of it, but parents always have the upper hand. He succeeded in sending me to my aunt. But I succeeded in what I knew how to do best. I was the baddest girl in the world. My aunt's husband could not put up with my attitude. He ordered me out of the house and my dad was forced to come and get me. That was when Mummy Toyin came to our area for a youth conference. All my friends were going because we all knew her as one of the most popular female minister in Nigeria. Meeting her live was like getting a PhD. Most of my friends who were privileged to attend meetings were Apostle Selman or Apostle Orokpo ministered, won't allow us to rest.
