This guy is such a serial liar...I wonder why he doesn't have a lawyer advising him to avoid making statements on a public platform at this point.

Because no one can tell who are real accounts and parody accounts on Twitter right now.

It absolutely blows my mind; if this[1] failure of an attempt at a "get out of jail free" disclaimer is something you feel the need to write out so poorly, and in all caps, after your diatribe, maybe - MAYBE - you shouldn't have said a goddamn word.

  Yeah! That was the tweet that made me suspect an anxiety attack / some other health condition. The weirdest part is that all 23 tweets were posted simultaneously at 8:13am. So he had the opportunity to say nothing; he could’ve clicked “save draft” instead of “tweet all”.

    heh how close together are the "save draft" and "tweet all" buttons?

  "Your honor, whatever I've said should not be used against me in the court of law"...I can't make up this parody if I was a scriptwriter. Here's another...SBF has stepped down, and his replacement is John J. Ray III, a famous bankruptcy lawyer who helped clean up Enron...yes, that Enron.

      I'm waiting for the Law&Order ripped from the headlines episode. Who will be the murder victim in the opening scene though? DUN DUN!!!

  Twitter should add Miranda warnings to the before-you-tweet prompts. It would be a reasonable use-case for ML classification.

    This guy is just taking a play from the same book Trump, Musk, Kanye, etc use. Only, he's turned it up to an 11. It'd be a funny skit to see a Trump character reading this guy's tweets/interviews and saying "whoa"

  Especially on twitter, where by default you only see the first few tweets of a chain. "Here is a bunch of information about the ongoing potentially criminal collapse of my company - oh by the way I'm a bad dev so some of what I said above might be wrong, don't act on this information."

His parents are probably going to invoice him for legal advice at this point.

His parents are law professors at Stanford. It’s crazy. You think they’d make a call and tell him to just stop.
- bombcar 4y ago
  I'm sure they have; does this look like someone who would listen to his parents?
