- treyd 3y agoDoes he actually feel guilt over it or does he know he has to perform the appearance of feeling guilty?
- bena 3y agoI think you're mistaking the feeling of guilt with the state of being guilty of something. The person you're responding to isn't claiming that SBF demonstrated remorse at his actions, he is claiming that SBF admitted to the crimes he's been accused of. Whether or not he feels remorse for those actions is a separate concern. But yeah, he's guilty.
- readthenotes1 3y agoThat just means he doesn't have good legal representation and political cover, doesn't it?
- dragonwriter 3y agoNo, it means he defied and then fired his good legal representation because he preferred to publicly and repeatedly proclaim his guilt before (and with the direct result of effecting) the burning of his political connections. His tweeting through the FTX collapse was a masterclass in self-incrimination.
- paulpauper 3y agoThe feds almost never lose. going to trial never a smart move. the best he can hope for is a sympathetic jury
- jrpelkonen 3y agoSmart move? He was not offered a plea bargain, so going to trial was the only option.
- tedunangst 3y agoYou can always plead guilty.
