In the end, the FTX trial was about the friends screwed along the way::As the prosecution has made its case against Sam Bankman-Fried, a simultaneous drama of ruined lives is playing out. Everyone who was close to Bankman-Fried is also exposed.
I kind of feel bad for the rest of them, not Sam
Re:title [Chef’s kiss]
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.
All that money and you decide to be ugly as fuck.
And those same friends of Bankman-Fraud are screwing him back on the flip in court.
This guy was Trump levels of dumb with his crimes and didn’t even have the army of sycophants and mob lawyers for him to throw under the bus. Plus: he stole money from rich people— the worst of crimes!
When it affects average people, the wheels of justice are slow. When it affects the wealthy, suddenly there is attention. This is pretty much what happened with Bernie Madoff. He was running his scheme for years and nobody blinked until some billionaires lost money.
Yup. Elizabeth Holmes and Sunny Balwani, same thing. If they’d only endangered patients, they’d have gotten away with it.
