- almostgotcaught 2y agoLet's weigh the threats here 1. A disgraced crypto bro trying to throw a hail mary to get out of prison 2. An authoritarian state growing by leaps and bounds daily Again as a rational person, which of these two is more serious and therefore warranting action (even at the level of constructing good faith interpretations)?
- ehutch79 2y agoIs he in jail for being disgraced? I'm confused there, I thought it was for massive amounts of fraud and money laundering?
- almostgotcaught 2y ago> I'm confused there I am not relitigating his conviction here. I am assessing the relative threat were he to succeed and be pardoned. Simple.

- Apocryphon 2y agoAdam Neumann has a new co-working play now, we are at the point where investors probably would throw money at SBF were he released.
- anomaloustho 2y agoYeah, I thought the reason he was in jail was because he aired ads and sponsored arenas trying to convince folks to put money into his seemingly legitimate platform that he was actually using as his personal bank account.
- SpicyLemonZest 2y agoI think a system where billionaire scammers get away with their crimes is more of a threat to me than a system where prisoners are treated poorly. Over the course of my life, I expect I'll have to do business with dozens or hundreds of companies run by billionaires who might scam me, whereas I don't expect I'll ever go to prison.

- otterley 2y agoWhy not both?
