> The guy broke the law to the tune of BILLIONS of dollars, and he gets to sit around at home while waiting for trial. He is with his family, living however he wants. Eating great food, drinking, relaxing. Enjoying himself.
He hasn't been convicted of a crime. Why should he be in jail?
> Regular criminals who break the law to the tune of hundreds of dollars are forced to sit in jail while they wait for trial. Jail sucks. You do NOT get to enjoy yourself.
It sounds like you support bail reform then, which has been a big thing recently in California and New York!
> That's the point.
The point absolutely is NOT to imprison people who have not been convicted of a crime. The point is to imprison people who have been convicted of a crime, and then maybe also temporarily imprison people pre-trial if they pose an imminent threat to the community (which SBF does not).
- olol 4y ago“He hasn't been convicted of a crime. Why should he be in jail?” because he’s connected enough to avoid getting jailed again even if he gets convicted
- me_again 4y agoI doubt that he will get off, but it seems dubious to put people in jail pre-trial on the basis that they would get away without jail time post-trial.
- CrazyStat 4y agoJust like he was connected enough to avoid ever getting investigated or charged, right? The "nothing bad will happen to SBF because he's connected" narrative has already been shown to be false, find some new material.
- StanislavPetrov 4y ago>He hasn't been convicted of a crime. Why should he be in jail? He should be in jail because he very likely has the hidden resources to flee and escape prosecution if he so chooses.
- dragonwriter 4y ago> He should be in jail because he very likely has the hidden resources to flee and escape prosecution if he so chooses. You mean, you think he’s risk tolerant enough that it is likely he will reveal his hidden assets if he is released on bail under strict supervision?
