I mean this guy got roughly the same sentence for laundering far less money. Forget drugs. Forget ODs. Forget the hits they didn’t charge anyways.

11 years is a light sentence for any of those crimes at the scale he did them if they were stand alone crimes let alone all together. I don’t care because the podcasts will be great and I never thought the GOP was some law and order family values party. But some signifiant segment of the party actually still falls for the we are the Christian party nonsense. What amazing suckers those people are.

The best thing that ever happened to Ulbricht was the fake murders he paid for. They didn’t charge him, and it allowed his supporters to obfuscate the whole issue and not act like it was saying free a drug kingpin, money launderer, arms dealer, etc because that is what this is. The corrupt agents just made it easy to shape a narrative around shit that wasn’t even charged. Amazing hustle. Kid will be hanging at Mar Lago in a week with 2 hot blondes on his arm.

SBF has to be so tilted at his 25 years after all his investors got paid back with interest because everything he invested in is through the roof. If this is 11 year crimes, his are 30 day crimes. I’d start praising Trump every day if I’m him. Maybe he can catch a back door pardon on his way out.

3 things:

1. at the federal level, once convicted, other bad acts even if not proven at trial, are part of the presentencing report which will add time to one's range. i never believede it was legal, but that decision was made without me.

2. no one has mentioned SBF not getting a pardon. i'm glad he didn't. but man, he paid enough that i wouldn't have been surprised.

3. speaking of #2, i'm also surprised Mayorkas didn't receive one as he was doing biden's bidding. i bet he won't sleep well for a while.
