I'm pretty sure it was more than just one 'edgy talk' with his GF, but one of many concrete examples of his attitude towards taking risks and especially taking risks that affect others who did not sign up for the risk.
I saw an article that implied that SBF confirmed on the stand his willingness to do the coin-toss, but I couldn't find it to confirm.
Perhaps the biggest evidence is that he went to trial instead of taking a plea deal. At the very least, he put his parents and family through an awful and unnecessary ordeal, just because he thought there was a chance he could convince a jury. But, in reality, it was not even close.
- gardenhedge 3y agoYou're "pretty sure"? Unless it was stated from himself under oath is largely useless.
- toss1 3y agoI'm commenting based on the reporting that I read indicating that he ALSO said confirmed it under oath, and other reporting indicating that his GF and others have long indicated that this was his overall attitude, i.e., that SBF taking any risk was OK as long as the possible outcome was positive, regardless of whether the more likely outcome was harm to many other people who did not agree to take the risk. The "pretty sure" caveat is that I cannot offhand recite chapter and verse of all the citations.
