Whenever something like this happens, I'm often surprised by the relative lack of outrage. People are too forgiving. I noticed a lot of comments about SBF along the lines of "I know he's a good guy..." or "Everyone makes mistakes" or "Everyone deserves a second chance..."
F that. Society has created an environment where it's better to ask for forgiveness later than it is to ask for permission prior. Our society systematically rewards deception and punishes honesty. There are a large bunch of apologists who keep showing up saying "Oh but deep down, such and such is a good guy" - If we keep going down that path of pretending that people's actions don't define their true character, we will soon run out of actual good guys... Or those that remain will be backed into a corner and forced to fight to survive.
