Sam Bankman-Fried: Convicted 'Crypto King' will not face second trial

> Prosecutors said the "strong public interest" in a resolution of their case against the former billionaire outweighed benefits of a second trial.

> He had faced six charges that had been separated from his first trial.

> These included campaign finance violations, conspiracy to commit bribery, and conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmitting business.

Strong public interest ... campaign finance ... bribery.

Seems like the "strong public interest" is to protect the people he'd bought and paid for.
