    It’s frustrating and sad but I try to keep at least one foot planted in the American reality. I know you are little more than amused by this.

    So much to be [redacted]
    Candidly, I hedged my prediction by also naming SBF in a PFA deathpool. I didn’t parlay

    its funny because i made a post on the redacted site a few days ago where i said one of the hallmarks of american institutional investing is the lack of real significant penalty for failure.

    basically if you crash enough funds your penalty is a substantial stock payout and a beach with your name on it someplace.

    also lest we forget, whatever decisions were made, they arent public yet, so who knows what direction this might eventually break. but SBF definitely requested like 6 of 10 charges dropped 72 hours ago so its a curiously timed rumor.

    It's happening, imo Judge Kaplan, Gary Gensler, the media and possibly the prosecutor are tasked with getting SBF off with lightest possible sentence, Epstein style.
    Without causing too much outrage or having it look obvious.


    Meanwhile Elizabeth Holmes is dead balls broke, rotting in prison. Never stole anything, never intended to do harm.
    She wanted to be the Steve Job's of Healthcare, bring products to market that work well and streamline the process.
    In other words her real crime, threatening a multi trillion dollar grift.
    That was certainly Trump's real crime.

    Elizabeth Holmes can't hold a candle to the Charly chick that founded Frank. You'd never know it by watching the media coverage.
    That chick is totally scandalous and the MSM is like "oh poor girl, she tried the fake it til you make it approach. Everyone does it...

    Hey guess what the government is dropping more charges for their preferred party affiliates!! Who did SBF mainly donate to...Democrats!! It would be very very bad, if he got convicted and they had to claw back ALL those illegal donation wouldn't it? Because that is exactly what would happen. That is what happens to normal people. But huge progressive donors as we all know are not "normal" people". They get special privileges, can commit any crimes they want, and have nothing to worry about. As corrupt at the highest levels you can possibly get. SBF is trending towards a 5 yr bullshit sentence in a camp, out in 2.5yrs to go on his merry way. It is already planned out. Meanwhile anyone else is in jail for LIFE. LIFE.

    Not only are they saving their favorite Dem politicians a shitload of money they won't have to give back, they are also shielding ANYONE from looking that pesky discovery. Who knows what else is hiding behind the curtain! A whole bunch of more problems is what is probably back there. But again just like that POOF it is gone! SBF can be very useful raising/extorting/laundering money from people when he is on the street. Way too valuable to them on the street hustling up cash.

    so SBF was getting extorted haaaard.

    apparently they werent 'letting him live' which is to say they were refusing to let him do his time in peace.

    he wasnt allowed to sleep in his bunk, they made him sleep on the floor.

    also they would slap him pretty regularly. slaps are real in because you dont get scuffed up when you slap someone so you can get away with it.

    apparently hes been moved out of MDC with violence being the reason but not a lot of hard data around and he's still under a gag order.

    Shkreli has a lot of interest in this story, all of a sudden. He's even doing Twitter Spaces. Seems he just likes people talking to him. If I made some effort to interact with him, it's even possible I could get him to come on PFA Radio.

    The other day he tweeted that he's sad that he missed out on the opportunity to get head from Caroline. LOL

    hes a weirdly legit celebrity more or less entirely because of twitter. hes great at hanging ten on whatever is trending on fintwit. like the day after he got out of jail he had a milady nft avatar up and running. he was giving some twitter spaces on crypto and Sia rolled through and spent like an hour just jawing her face off with him about how crypto was going to change the world etc etc. and he was really nice and gracious but clearly didnt care.

    its funny because i think you two have complimentary personalities probably but i dont know if theres anything here that he would want to log on for, simply because hes so hyper tuned into his own brand / finance / twitter illness / etc. but yeah fuck it, you should hit him up, i agree its actually quite possible he says yes.
