I mean obviously receipts help. and SBF didn’t admit to any intentional wrongdoing publicly. I’m sure he was more truthful in private signal or telegram chats

  Besides there's a very extensive history of state procescutors offering deals to co-conspirators early on. Even in obvious sure things they've sided on the safest possible option. It probably reflects the inherent risk-aversion that comes with a gov lawyer job. A more balanced tolerance to risk is often missing from much of gov policy making. Probably has a lot to do with people who care more about highly visible and immediate prosecutions to satisfy the public > balanced long-term justice. Politics selects for that. You see the same thing happen on social media where emotions reign king.

I think it's often less about convenience and more about prosecutor's political antennas. Who wants to see the guy dead in jail, and who would be most upset at you if that happened.

  Its a legal case. Receipts not only help, they are required. AGs prefer cases they know they'll win.

  I dunno, this is pretty damning, despite the clickbait graphics. https://youtu.be/4o_jPzBZSIo https://youtu.be/4o_jPzBZSIo
