How many years do you have to go back to find 1 company that is on par with a dropbox or airbnb
i feel like if you went back 5 years it would be hard to even find more than 1-2 companies that has achieved a moderate level of mainstream success in the same way

Eh disagree. Holmes got more than 10 years but she didn’t even try to profit by selling shares or borrowing against shares to buy a bunch of things. The scale of the financial fraud is enormous and on top of that they spent hundreds of millions of it on luxury items and influence peddling.
I think no less than 20 years but not sure about life either.
SBF did not do himself any favors with his smug attitude that caused the judge himself to scold him several times during his examination. If he was a little more remorseful I could’ve seen some more leniency but the Judge did not like his attitude from what I could read following his testimony.
Have you seen $GSX, a publicly traded $20B stock on Nasdaq that claims it's growing faster than early Google or Facebook and has been the subject of 5-6 short seller reports and an ongoing SEC investigation?
