FTX/Sam Bankman-Fried megathread

[demicolon]

Why is the death penalty not on the table for prison sentences that would clearly exceed the prisoner's natural life?

What if he's a vampire? Didn't think about that, huh?

 

[Broadside]

I wish the media would have paid any attention to what an obvious amphetamine addict Sam was. He was begging the judge to up his Aderall dosage ffs. He paid to have a in-house psychiatrist to give the FTX staff all the Rx speed they wanted. The dude was a straight up tweaker and it was obvious in countless interviews, but I guess having a ADD Dx and Rx for aderall made it verboten to scrutinize.

Playing video games while doing a conference all with a hedge fund is classic tweaker BS, not crypto millennial disrupter rebel.

Right? He was fucking shifting and tweaking ON TV. The absolute cover this corrupt regime gives to obvious criminals is disgusting. History will at least not look kindly on our overlords I know that much.

 

[AltisticRight]

Hope he gets the Madoff treatment, but I'm guessing 50 years at most.
Not because he's Jewish yadayada, Cryto crimes are still relatively new.

I’m holding off my CrabDance until sentencing.

Maybe I’m just doomer pilled but I have a bad feeling that he will get 6 months of house arrest in his mansion and 5 months will be time served.

When it first came to light of his crimes it was amazing just how well treated he was by the media they treated him with kid gloves with multiple articles reminding us just what a nice guy he was it was shameless.

I think he'll get fucked but only because the world is watching if this was a popular story I think your right and he'd have walked off with a slap on the wrist unfortunately for him his white collar crime happend to be interesting with the alleged orgies and having a femme fatale that looks like she's be hit with a bus

 

[VeeAndro]

Big Daddy Jimbo's mind must be blown since he insisted it was impossible. I am sure twatter is aflutter too.

Question: Just found your blog so sorry if you've answered this a million times already. On your about page it says you like Heartiste--do you mind explaining why?

Answer: tbh I mostly put that in my about on a whim because I was like “will anyone ever actually read this? let’s mention Heartiste and find out” so now that it’s served its purpose maybe I’ll delete it ^_^ but yes, I do like him.

(long apologia for the manosphere below the cut)

To be clear I think he’s a terrible person, rape and abuse apologist, etc. and I don’t think people should read him unless they’re prepared to separate the wheat from the chaff. I read him not because I think it’s a Good Thing to Do but because he’s really entertaining and I can’t seem to stop.

As much as I want to see the bankman suffer I will still be disappointed if the rest of his crew gets off free. He didn't work alone, his whole crew was in on it, he was just the guy with the money. They're all as guilty as he is, but they'll get off easy for testifying and because the media can't handle reporting on more than one person. They threw him under the bus just to cover their own ass. I'm sure we'll hear all the pity stories about how no really we aren't all total disgusting degenerates. We had to have drug fueled orgies in the office because he manipulated us too! We're all victims here.

Remember Elizabeth Holmes ripped off a lot of investors, the fact that she pissed off so many rich and powerful people was probably why sentencing was so long.

Of course she got to go to a minimum security woman's prison and her partner-in-crime Bulwani was sent to a similar prison in California.

The real question is if SBF goes to a "white collar resort" prison or "pound me in the ass" prison, to borrow terms from Office Space.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons has a 110-page guide on inmate security designation. You must have less than 10 years remaining on your sentence to qualify for placement in a minimum security camp.

Holmes for example got an 11-year sentence, but once you factor in good conduct time (federal prisoners automatically get 15% off their sentence), her actual sentence length is approx. 9 years and 4 months. That's why Holmes can spend her entire sentence in a white collar resort.

SBF is looking at a much longer sentence. If you have more than 30 years remaining on your sentence—you are classified as "high security," period. Once you crunch the numbers on good conduct time, SBF will probably be designated to a "pound me in the ass" prison if he gets 35 years and 4 months or longer (30*100/85=35.29).

You're surprised by this tweaker jew becoming a media darling when just a few years ago, they literally worshiped a fetanyl addicted nigger like a god?

 

[mister fireworks]

I'm so out of it I didnt even know who this guy was until i saw the update on the case, so i have no context/perspective to judge, but how big of a story is this to the general public? Someone mentioned skilling from Enron only getting 24 years and serving 12, which is disgusting, but i think perhaps he got off light because the feds HAD to prosecute him to satiate the public. Same thing with Holmes to a much lesser degree. My point is that my predication on how many years he gets depends on how much the average americlap is even aware of the case. If this is a story begrudgingly being covered by the press, that most normal people dont care about, i think hes gonna get decades, because it means the justice department is going hard on him for their own reasons, and the feds will pull all the strings they can to get his ass.

tl;dr - there's a lot of retarded rules between jail time, time served, and other shit that some lawyers base their entire strategy around lessening their jail time until they get what they want. Especially moreso if it's impossible for whatever the fuck word it is where their employer is let off scott free.

So judges tack on insane amounts of years to make sure their judgement sticks regardless of law jewing. Or to specifically avoid one jewing to encourage another. If the judgement is so frivolous that no amount of law jewing would even make a dent. It means the Judge is a pissbaby and got assmad about something

Haha, give it 2 months and it wont be the truckload of adderall he was taking that would be giving him the shakes and making him jumpy and nervous. That would be PTSD from all the ass raping. He'd have gone from having loads of money in his crypto exchange to taking loads of lifers in his ass.

 

[Cyberpunk Panatela]

Right? He was fucking shifting and tweaking ON TV.

What the fuck is it with the "financial sector" and stimulants anyway? This isn't just in the USA, by the way - it seems to be a worldwide phenomenon.

(I don't think this has anything to do with whether the drugs are generally popular or not - eg. in South Africa in 1972, when the popular street drugs [not counting weed] were hallucinogens and heroin, 2 brokers perpetrated a massive fraud on their clients and colleagues, then lost their own money and gassed themselves to death. These guys were both very heavy users of phendimetrazine[effects similar to amphetamine, formerly used as appetite suppressant], as were the rest of their firm).

Anyone here with some insight into this phenomenon?

 

[MadStan]

Bankboy-Freed will be out in 3 years. He will spend those years in some super fancy "correctional facility" , then suddenly out of nowhere he will get a presidential pardon.

You're dreaming.

There will be no Pardon for SBF. Despite all the conspiracy theories this is really, a simple matter. He took money from good people and he took money from bad people. Some of the bad people threatened to kill him or his parents and so they got most of their money - most. The rest, lost. He wasn't sophisticated in his scam, he was reckless.

What will unfold will be the attempt by the government to follow what trails they can to lead back to other persons who have been involved in using SBF for money laundering, but keep in mind these companies (bar a few of the over 100), were registered and operated abroad, meaning US Federal agents have limited scope to actually do anything with the information other than to pass it on, or keep in the loop other agencies on what they uncover unless it involves an American national.

He ain't getting pardoned. Yes, he donated millions to Democrats and Republicans, and yes, no doubt he took investments from Democrats and Republicans, but this is nothing not in the playbook of every big bank or Wall Street investment firm either.

I am of the firm belief (unsubstantiated but there have been flags indicated) that he had some very bad actors as clients and that they have probably made it known to SBF that should they be revealed, he may not last the full term in Prison or his family on the outside.

But that is the playbook of every big crypto firm outside the USA - they serve Money Launderers - that is what brings them loads of money. So many Crypto firms have gone down for this it is ridiculous. They lack the finesse of a genuine, well-oiled and premium Laundering service like Credit Suisse that manages to be known for it, and yet still remains in operation.

When you serve money launderers you best have as your top clients global politicians to ensure you remain in operation, and oh, the other thing....DONT LOSE THEIR FUCKING MONEY.

In the Crypto world it isn't money laundering that is the crime, it is letting it collapse and having governments come in and review your books that is the real crime.

No pardon for SBF, just lots of time in a cell and loads of Medical grade drugs with the promise of reduced time should he give up some of the clients the government really wants. But with his recklessness, should he even turn on some of his clients, the question is can he actually give the government what they want with al the evidence, because he probably has destroyed or obfuscated the trails so much the government might not be able to go after the clients.

Have you tried day trading? Lmao. Adderall really helps

Pretty sure she's just an unfortunate-looking Catholic woman. Not that anyone's religion or ethnicity is particularly relevant in this situation.

Christianity is both a religion and ethnicity. Atheist Europeans still were raised in Christian values.

If they were all popping Adderall like candy, why are they all normal weight or slightly chubby? You'd think they would be skellies.

He's not been using that much speed (what, ~50 mg/day tops?) and uppers are not a magic weight loss drug. Chantal is a cokehead but still fat and I would not snort lines with her.
