Pretty much what the title says. I know he's a former president and has all of his supporters, but what's the official reason? Thanks.

Trump's fines are from his Civil cases. SBF had Criminal charges.

Yeah but that was what I was asking. They both committed fraud. I realize the nature of the fraud was different but was wondering why one was criminal and the other not. They seem to have jumped on Fried pretty quickly and gave him a high penalty. It seems pretty obvious that Trump is a former president of but he's being prosecuted for other criminal charges so it seemed to me there must have been some crucial difference the two, other than their standing.
