Honestly, downvoted.
The top voted comment in that topic is saying he's going to jail. Just because in a forum with a gazillion people some people have a different one doesn't make it representative of the median/mean/etc.
Also, it's not bad to have a counter-opinion to a group; it is bad to claim a singular opinion is that of the group without any actual justification.

- ceejayoz 3y agoThe top voted comment in that topic is also saying "For everyone on this thread making broad proclamations about how SBF won't go to jail", yes? Implying quite a few people held that opinion here?
- lesuorac 3y agoSure, at least a few people held that opinion. However, that isn't what the post I'm replying to said. The post I replied to used the literally lowest voted top level comment as their basis of "HN didnt think he was going to jail". They skipped over all of the higher top level comments when making their post (you have to go to the bottom of page 2 to see the one they picked). Their post is classic bad faith argument and I think it should receive a penalty (downvote).
