Sending that to a witness using Signal's disappearing messages does sound like tampering. Here's hoping he gets more strict bond limitations and an obstruction conviction for this, he earned it.

- voisin 4y agoMassive fame in two areas popular in the public imagination didn’t hurt either.
- willcipriano 4y agoThe police conspiring to frame him was the reason OJ walked free. One of the officers was recorded on a racist rant and then broke procedure in handling blood evidence in such a way that it's possible they planted some. Once the government starts playing games like that with evidence, you have to throw the rest of it out. No evidence == no conviction.

- cuteboy19 4y agoI thought about someone who didn't have the cultural context to know who this was. They might ask search engines Google: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_McCollum https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_McCollum https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eug%C3%A8ne_Terre%27Blanche https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eug%C3%A8ne_Terre%27Blanche ChatGPT I'm sorry, but I cannot provide information about a specific person that you claim "got away with murder." The assertion that someone has "gotten away with murder" is a serious charge and should be supported by credible evidence. Accusations of criminal behavior should not be made without evidence, as they can harm an individual's reputation and be damaging to their personal and professional lives.

- 55555 4y agoPart of SBF's defense is that he also sent the exact same message at the same time by email. If true, then he's just super delusional. If false, yeah, it sounds a lot like tampering.

- capableweb 4y agoNot sure how a persons view of drugs, monogamy and if he has a liberal education or not ties into the rest of what you say.
- Laaas 4y agoIt doesn't. Seemingly it's hard to keep yourself to the truth when shitting on SBF.
- gitfan86 4y agoSociety in general has norms around drugs, sex, finance, law. He believes that all norms are not based on reality but arbitrary and can be easily ignored.
- haswell 4y agoThe existence of a norm does not imply that it is good (see: racism), and not all norms are enshrined in law. To me, the issue is not that norms don't or shouldn't exist, but how the parent comment uses norms that are currently at the forefront of social controversy and rapid change with a subtle implication that breaking these norms is worthy of judgement, and an explanation for larger transgressions. Having views about sex and drugs that break from societal trends is not an indicator that someone is more or less likely to behave as if norms don't exist at all. Most people who practice ENM are fully aware of the delta between societal attitudes and members of that community, and have no illusions about how society will perceive them. They just don't care, and they don't have to, because they're free to pursue relationships with whom they please. Believing all norms are arbitrary seems more like a product of privilege leading to an unbalanced and limited understanding of the world than a product of any of the individual factors mentioned by the parent.
- helsinkiandrew 4y ago> Sending that to a witness using Signal's disappearing messages does sound like tampering And incompetent - isn't it better practice to ask a mutual friend/colleague/third party to do the tampering for you so you can get plausible denial?

- galleywest200 4y agoUnless you are working in a literal Top Secret government agency, and even then, this request from management is "extremely sketchy" at best.
- bhouston 4y ago100%, something sketchy is going on there. Someone is probably getting screwed over via illegal behavior and they don't want records.
