- steveBK123 3y agoSBF seems like the kind of big mouthed overconfidently stupid smart person to walk right into that. He certainly has a lot of content out there on the public record for them to cross check his recollections against!
- vecter 3y agoInteresting. How would someone prove this?
- NotYourLawyer 3y agoWait for him to publicly say something stupid about it that admits guilt.

- nextaccountic 3y agoBut memory is unreliable, specially if you're under pressure. This is seen for example when taking exams, some people might just completely forget what they were just studying Is this really a crime?
- efitz 3y agoYes. If you don’t want to answer because it might be incriminating, then you have to assert your fifth amendment privileges; you can’t lie and say that you don’t remember.
- jowea 3y agoDo people get prosecuted for perjury after getting a guilty sentence like that? I imagined the most important consequence of saying "I don't remember" is whether the jury finds you credible.
