What annotations software is this? All news should be reported this way when source documents are available. Edit: scrolled to the bottom of the page and found https://github.com/molly/annotate
So it's just the front-end, relying on you to manually write all the HTML. I'd love some software to make generating these (or similar) annotated documents easily. Any ideas?

#12Sam Bankman-Fried is something else. He seems to be incapable of stopping talking, both before and after this saga. He also seems just purely delusional. He's co-conspirators have readily plead guilty. He has a tough hill to climb. Regarding Sam Trabucco, why do we not hear anything about him in these proceedings? How is it possible that he wasn't involved given he just up and left in just August 2022? Why hasn't he…
From the article. What are your thoughts given this?

Ah. I missed this point right next to it.

Fermat's Library offers something that comes relatively close https://fermatslibrary.com/margins

#14Can he just gift wrap these statements with a little tag that says "To the prosecutors with love. Merry Xmas, SBF"

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. A GUI where the original text material is loaded, then you highlight it and write the annotations. Bonus of each annotation could be tweeted/tooted/whatevered and include open graph screenshots of the annotation. Also, I'm sure you didn't mean to trivialize the project, but it's more than "just a front end". The design is what's really great about it.

#19I think Molly White defaults to too much credibility in judges and lawyers.
SBF's main argument is that Sullivan & Cromwell misled him into going the Chapter 11 route, which he later learned was more motivated by its ability to make hundreds of millions rather than helping his customers. He made a mistake in trusting them. All entrepreneurs make mistakes in trusting people they should not.
He admits to serious mistakes with Alameda etc, but believes those were recoverable. I would agree—the crypto market is huge and so important—and think as long as all customers get their money back, that it was fixable.
I think S&C has done a terrible job with FTX since taking over since the bankruptcy, so find SBF's argument to have merit.
SBF's main message to entrepreneurs, which I think is a good one: be more transparent, and be careful who you trust.
Source: I think I have $30,000 in my FTX.us account, so if anything I should be biased against SBF/FTX. But I am currently dealing with a dishonest lawyer and incompetent judge in the San Diego Family Law Cartel, so I am biased against the system at the moment.

I'd love to know what his parents think of what he's doing. They're law professors at Stanford; they have to be aware of how utterly stupid this is, don't they?
