Politics aside, SBF was kind of right though, wasn’t he? Like what would just his Sol be worth now? $10 billion?Quote:

I get that he didn’t have the right to do what he did, but to my understanding, even with what he lavishly spent, his people were largely made whole because the shit he held went up so much.
Like he would probably be in very rarified air and among the wealthiest people in the world right now had some fellow criminal who ended up in jail the next year and was his business rival not started a bank run before he ultimately went to prison himself for money laundering.
Like contrast Elizabeth Holmes with SBF. Both seemed to think through force of will they could reshape the world. Both thought themselves visionaries. But she had no idea what she was talking about and a complete fraud. He was an autistic nerd who made a bunch of moves that were largely right because he probably didn’t feel like explaining what he was doing to a bunch of people who wouldn’t understand. Definitely not legal and not his right, but being right is worth a lot. I’d think differently of Holmes if Theranos had actually got where she envisioned even after her fall. They didn’t and never will. His vision got there 18 months after his fall.
She’ll do 9 years.
I mean Bernie Madoff didn’t invest his marks money in BTC or he’d have roads named after him in Jerusalem and NYC. Had he invested 20% of what he stole his investors would be thrilled and richer than ever.
Other than selling off some of her personal holdings, Holmes investors will be lucky to ever see 2% of what they lost.
Madoff’s marks are just stories of pure pain.
People who had money in FTX are getting back 118% of what was held. 9% annual return. And that’s with them probably spending billions on the whole shit show.
I mean he got a Madoff like sentence for something the regular banks do all the time and end up failing at. They just have Uncle Sam as a backup.
Like at the end of the day, had he weathered that storm and there wasn’t a bank run, he’s bigger than Elon and way more popular right now.
In the country where no one went to prison for the banking crisis and Trump is going to pardon a kid who kind of took out hits on people, and also was the middleman for a business that had maybe 100 overdoses associated with it, is he that bad?
And I don’t have a problem with the Ulbricht pardon either. He was also right as far as drugs go. His way was safer. His 100 overdoses would likely be thousands.
The paid hits are problematic, but the government corruption and clowns stealing from him kind off offset that situation.
In the annals of this corrupt county and who fucked shit up, neither of those two kids are even in the ballpark of the banksters. The world isn’t worse with both walking the street.
We raise these kids in a world where they watch our politicians and anyone associated with Wall Street loot the country with no benefit to anyone but themselves and nothing ever happens to anyone.
They both think outside the box and get hammered for not cheating within a broke system when what they did benefitted a lot of people. They just weren’t authorized criminals. They were both greedy little fucks who wanted to get rich also, but their way of getting rich hurt a lot less people than our normal scammers. They probably are a net benefit eventually had we let them do their thing.
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves among those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague."
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I think he is as likely to be pardoned by Trump as Biden.Quote:

Payouts need to flow first and the resulting headlines printed.
Winning your bets is hugely appealing and as American as it gets. I literally just noticed my DuckDuckGo offers Anthropic AI. What was that - a 10 bagger for FTX?
SBF getting a near life sentence is just fucking dumb Justice anyway.
None of this will be a reason for optimism about democracy or Justice and it is fitting we discuss this in “end of times” thread.
exactly what i said years ago -- we knew it and lacked the will to do anything, so therefore our lying guvment suppressed it to prevent outrage - we deserve what's coming.

A murderer who ruthlessly gunned down two innocent female bank workers has now demanded to be let out of prison - just days after President Biden saved him from death row.
Brandon Council, 38, who was sentenced to death for the cold-blooded murders of bank employees Donna Major and Katie Skeen, filed the bold request for 'compassionate release' on Friday.
Council murdered the two women during a horrific bank raid in Conway, South Carolina, in 2017.
After a three-week trial, he was convicted in September 2019, with judges handing down the death sentence the following month.
But in a controversial move, Biden commuted his sentence to life last Monday, in one of his final presidential decisions before his tenure ends next month.
Now Council has made the entitled demand to walk free.
The killer's legal motion, filed in US District Court in Florence, claims that he's been subjected to 'severe, unnecessary, and unjustifiable psychological harm' in solitary confinement since November 2019.
The motion continued: 'The petitioner's subjection to torture is the subsequent result of the petitioner's sentence to death, however, the additional punishment of solitary confinement which is the cause of the psychological harm is in no manner statutorily authorized, mandated, or required by the petitioner's sentence to death.'
'Within the jurisdiction of the United States it is both illegal and unconstitutional to inflict or subject any person to torture as a punitive consequence for a crime a party has been duly convicted of.'
This comes after the family of Skeen, who was brutally gunned down alongside her co-worker Major during an armed bank robbery slammed Biden as a 'low life,' for his decision to commute the killer's death penalty to a life sentence.
.....
Speaking to DailyMail.com Skeen's mother, Betty Davis, 78, said, 'He's a low life. Both Biden and Council, they're both low lifes.'
According to Davis, she and the rest of the family including Skeen's father, John, 78, her husband of 16 years Tracy, 52, and two sons Noah, 22 and River, 17, were informed of the President's decision in a conference call with victim advocates on last Sunday.
...
Davis said, 'I just felt heart-sick when they told us. It was like my world had just fallen apart all over again.'
Recalling the day her daughter was murdered Davis said, 'My husband received a phone call from the Sheriff, and he just went flying out the door. Me and River jumped in my car and followed him to the Sheriff's department and that's when they told us. That's when the hell began.'
Turning her attention to her daughter's killer she said, 'He deserved the sentence he got. My daughter had no choice over her fate, she didn't get to choose what he did to her.'
Skeen and Major's murders were captured on the bank's security footage. They were played during Council's three-week trial in 2019, meaning their families had to witness the horror of the women's terrifying last moments
Skeen's mother said, 'Everyone should see the video of what he did to them. Everyone should see his face as he killed them, there was no emotion. There is no place for sympathy for that man.
'Him getting the death sentence meant everything to us. It meant justice for Katie and Donna.'
....
The small city of Conway in South Carolina was rocked by the women's senseless killings. With a population of just over 17,000 at the time, the violence hit the coastal town in Horry County hard.
you can guess what everyone looks like.

he misses the mark. i gave the answer some time ago. the truth is western nations lack the will to do anything about it. we can't tell the truth - millions died from a man made virus which escaped or was released by an adversary who is too mighty for us to face, both militarily and economically, without enduring real hardship ourselves. so those in charge made the decision for us, to lie and suppress, using our tax dollars to do so.
they told us to go sit in our chair in the corner of the room while they fucked our dignity. sonictine knows what i'm talking about here.
don't you feel safe? this is all of our own making. our enemies laugh at us. we deserve what is coming.
