Sam Bankman-Fried said to be in talks with prosecutors over bail deal

  Bail for financial crime, paid from the loot. Exactly my sense of humor.

  Where do all the fans of the constitution dissapear to? No 8th amendment fans out there? Bail in the US is as protected as speech and guns.

    What do you consider "excessive" in the face of billions of dollars stolen?
    • blitzar 4y ago
      A couple of magic beans seems reasonable. Eye for an eye and all that.

        The common interpretation of the 8th is that bail should be set to reasonably ensure that the accused show up to court. With billions on the line, with his billionaire friends involved at FTX who don't want him to narc, the cost benefit analysis of skipping town is absurd. It isn't an eye for an eye. If he pays the bail and shows up to court, he'll get it back if it wasn't ill-gotten.
