That ship has long sailed. She's coming out of this with a slap on the wrist because she ratted on SBF. She's a hero of the alt right because her Tumblr is full of creepy eugenics shit. She has a pervo following for being a poly sex fiend (allegedly). She's going to write a book, sell her movie rights, etc. and live a life of luxury as the woman that took down SBF and FTX (who will be remembered as the real fraudster).
- dclusin 4y agoYears in prison is not a slap on the wrist.
- qbasic_forever 4y agoShe hasn't been sentenced yet. We don't know what the terms of her deal are but they almost certainly involve leniency in the sentencing. Her lawyer likely tried to make a case that the big bad evil SBF sexually manipulated her into committing fraud and actually she's the real victim here.
- dclusin 4y agoLeniency is a relative term. It's relative to the size of the harm, number of victims, her centrality to it, etc. If there's a for sure bet to be made here, it's that she will be spending many years in prison for this. Just not her whole life. That's what leniency here means.
- howinteresting 4y agoI think she'll probably do 36 months or so. Not nothing but also not life-destroying.
- akerl_ 4y agoHow are you calculating that?

(this case is also being prosecuted by SDNY) and a general expectation that she won't go scot free (so not just 21 days) but also that SBF is the one they really want to put away.
- foogazi 4y agoWhy not both ?
- dclusin 4y agoAlso the thing to consider as well is that any management level trust position in a white collar setting is off limits to her for many years after that as well. On account of people being slow to entrust ex-cons with responsibility.
- qbasic_forever 4y agoShe'll make way, way, way more money selling her tv/movie rights to Apple or whoever makes the definitive documentary-drama on the matter. Like 'F you, never work again' money.

- imtringued 4y agoI wouldn't trust her even if she wasn't convicted.
- oldgradstudent 4y agoShe's not anyone's hero. She's a freak in a freak show. The praise is ironic.

- tomjen3 4y agoShe is going to have to pay all the money back, per her plea agrement.
