- lordfrito 4y agoYes I do think that's exactly what this is. I also think the system all around him his whole life let his unhealthy behavior go unchecked. This kid needed some tough love. Instead his mom pens essays writing how "the philosophy of personal responsibility has ruined criminal justice and economic policy". [1] Yeah, when your parents say personal responsibility has no place in economics or justice, of course you're going to double down on line-go-up. He's been patted on the back his whole life. Now real average Joe's are out a LOT of collective money. Real people being hurt here. This would never have happened at this scale had any sane adults been in the room. This is an indictment about the kind of people in the world that SBF spent his life living in.
