Did Bernie Madoff make it this easy? Or is this an elaborate plan he's already designed with game theory?

#82A programmer who helped create Tornado Cash rots in a Dutch jail cell (not charged, might I add) while SBF, Do Kwan, Elizabeth Holmes, and Trevor Milton still remain free. SBF is actually in a $30 million penthouse playing League of Legends. Clown world
About the programmer in a dutch cell: that is not true, he is in "voorarrest" which is in an arrest house not in a jail cell. Maximum time for that is a 110 days(depending on the complexity of the case).
And yes he is not charged but he has seen a judge who has heard both sides and decided there was a strong enough case to hold him there( which is quite rare i might add and generally only happens for severe cases).

Holmes is getting sentenced this week. It took years to get there. This isn't going to happen overnight.
Why did it happen overnight for the programmer that helped create Tornado cash then?

#85Jesus Christ…does this guy not know that you should keep quiet when you’re the subject of a criminal investigation from multiple government agencies?
But stealing and then losing customer deposits "was never the intention" You know, "Sometimes life creeps up on you" and then the customer deposits you stole are gone! He's clearly innocent, so he has nothing to worry about.
We've all been there!

#86> I was trying to make sense of what, behind the PR and the charitable donations and the lobbying, Bankman-Fried actually believes about what’s right and what’s wrong — and especially the ethics of what he did and the industry he worked in. This seems like a weird thing to worry about right now, I imagine my question would be "hey, where'd all the deposits go?" Like, I'm sure it's all interesting in a psychological a…
Alameda got long on crypto, crypto crash, billions lost. Funds from FTX was covering Alameda's losses. My guess there, was never a distinct point in which money was moved from FTX to Almeda. I felt they always ran both as two hands belonging to the same body.

The wheels of justice grind slowly.
Holmes will see real prison soon.
Do Kwan is on the lam. When he's caught, he will do time.
SBF will almost certainly do time. FTX only imploded this week.

Open source code should be considered protected speech. The fact that it’s not should scare the daylights out of any OSS contributor. Also, privacy should be a human right. If you disagree with the above, you might be a fascist.
It's protected speech. What you do with it can be criminal. Code for an Arduino that moves a robotic arm is legal. Using it to pull a trigger and kill someone isn't.
Of course. Was the tornado cash person arrested for using the code in an illegal way or just for publishing the code?

> This isn't going to happen overnight What isn't going to happen overnight, justice? A fairer world? I don't think a fairer world is on its way, I wish it was but the powerful won't be held accountable because people simply don't have the power to hold them accountable. We simply don't live in a just world.
Overnight "justice" precludes due-process which is necessary for a fairer world.
