It’s weird how the media insists on describing a 30 year old man who committed defrauded folks of millions of dollars like he’s a teenager. Like this was just a group of teenagers who didn’t really understand what they were doing until things got out of hand.
I'm actually ok with this character assassination. He's clearly not a person who ever really grew or matured.
I wonder how long he's been on Adderall/diagnosis date? This is the methiest situation I've ever heard and yes, I know, meth != mixed amphetamine salts (amphetamine/dextroamphetamine), but I challenge the disagreeer to fight me cuz I'm winning that fight every single time.
Also, I'm not really touching on the culpabillity part with respect to the "methy" nature of the situation other than to say literally nobody else who's not white and rich and so well-pedigreed/messy-haired would receive this treatment, except maybe Trump. SBF should have been in jail immediately, he's not innocent or inept, he's entitled and well-resourced and internet/computer "savvy" and doesn't give a fuck about anybody else.
Convicted man (not boy child) walkin'
I didn't go there, I just assumed endless entitlement and never having to face consequences.
Thats arguably even far more "intoxicating" but I def don't agree it deserves the "Affluenza Defense", hell, I don't even think the "Affluenza Defense" deserves the "Affluenza Defense"
That was class warfare. The judge was looking out for his own kind. Same with the Stanford rape case a few years back.
I just don't get how it survives appeal if there's even appeal at all
Re:title [Chef's kiss]
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Of course everyone who had money trapped on the FTX exchange when it collapsed — as the result of Bankman-Fried’s trading firm Alameda Research purloining its customers’ funds — had their lives altered.
All the co-conspirators seem oddly younger than their years, as though they got stuck in the “math camp forever” environment Bankman-Fried created for them and simply failed to grow up.
The prosecution has made a strong case that Bankman-Fried presided over the various forms of fraud that played out at Alameda Research and FTX, orchestrating some of it and engaging in some of it directly.
During Yedidia’s testimony, we were shown a photograph in court: former President Bill Clinton and former Prime Minister Tony Blair onstage in suits next to Bankman-Fried, in a rumpled T-shirt and cargo shorts.
Wang testified that he heard Bankman-Fried tell another trader that it was okay to continue withdrawing money from the account as long as the amount was less than FTX’s total trading revenue.
Ellison testified to something similar, choking back tears: “When I started working at Alameda, I don’t think I would have believed you if you told me I would be sending false balance sheets to our lenders or taking customer money, but over time, it was something I became more comfortable with.”

I kind of feel bad for the rest of them, not Sam
I mean they still did the bad things even though they knew they were bad. They just didn't know how bad the whole thing was.
All that money and you decide to be ugly as fuck.
I mean, can't have the nerds risin' up and getting 2 uppity
Edit: their lack of looks makes me trust them more. I distrust overly beautiful or contrived folks
