Still, for consolation, even when he gets out of prison he won't be poor, because he will inherit something from his parents - I'm just wondering if inheritance has anything to do with debt? If, say, he inherits a house worth $2 million, will the authorities take the house from him or not?
Forfeitures in this case will be case by case, it depends a lot on the value of the said house and his means of making a living.
Now, you probably know that in the US 2 million houses is nothing special, in the suburbs of major cities that won't get you more than 300sqm and 4 rooms so probably the judge will let him inherit something like that but anything more expensive like his 4 million home (valued at that back in 2022) in Palo Alto he might get from his parents will probably get seized, his 40 million penthouse in Bahamas? No chance! It's all ready for auction!
As for other assets like cash, shares anything in his inheritance they will be seized.
You know the running joke that the scariest of all three letter agencies is not the CIA,NSA or FBI, it's the IRS!

I see. Anyway, their parent claim they'll continue fight for Sam, so who knows if they also willing to help him paying FTX's victim.
They don't have a chance of paying that back, that's the thing the US is good at when they deal with financial punitive measures, just like when they hand someone 161 life sentences, they pretty much know from the start they won't be able to pay up those 11 billion.
