True effective altruism at play here. He's valuing the entertainment of millions above years of his own freedom.

- mseepgood 3y agoI don't think freedom is an option for him anymore.
- VHRanger 3y agoNo, but testifying unsuccesfully can certainly make him get the higher range of sentencing guidelines
- SpaceManNabs 3y ago> True effective altruism at play here. Ngl, I feel terrible for all the people that lost FTX money, but it is kinda amazing to see the world see what a terrible mess and how irreducibly dumb most of the effective altruists are. Kinda like when gwern went off on his eugenics rant and people went: are all of these "rationalists" libertarian lunatics?
- VHRanger 3y ago(yes they are)
- generj 3y agoI genuinely chuckled out loud, thank you. More substantively I wonder if he will try to argue his use of the money towards effective altruism made fraud OK during sentencing - surely the money was better spent on charity rather than remaining with the credulous. Why he’s a modern day Robin Hood! And who could be more deserving of charity than himself?
