An FTX co-founder was sentenced to no time in prison after being praised for his cooperation in the cryptocurrency fraud case involving Sam Bankman-Fried. The co-founder, Gary Wang, testified at Bankman-Fried's trial and played a key role in helping prosecutors recover funds for victims of the fraud.
