Disagree, anybody would have gone to prison for doing what SBF did
- immibis 11mo agoCZ got a presidential pardon alongside giving the president a bunch of money. So did Ross Ulbricht. SBF did not give him money, and is in jail. It's true none of them did the exact same crimes as each other, but there's a clear pattern here. Let's see if in the future SBF gives the president a bunch of money and gets a pardon.
- walletdrainer 11mo agoCZ received and served a four month sentence for vague AML issues, the pardon didn’t really change anything for him. Ross Ulbricht had no connections prior to his imprisonment. His case demonstrates how even a man in supermax prison with essentially no money to his name was able to build good enough connections to get a presidential pardon for dealing massive amounts of drugs. Personal connections might matter if you do decide to commit serious crimes, but as Ulbricht demonstrates, anyone can develop those connections.
