> Have you ever been in a jail cell? Almost every day in the US you see someone who decides to go out with guns blazing rather than go back. ... what? Who are these people going out in a blaze of glory rather than returning to prison? Considering there are millions of ex-cons, many who will be repeat offenders, we should be seeing many more of these people going out "guns blazing" rather than returning to prison, yea…

google 'felon warrant fires police' I'm honestly shocked I'm forced to even cite that this happens. Although I suppose if someone has lived in America and made it to adulthood without acknowledging the stories they aren't going to be convinced.

> Justin Sun and Do Kwon are the worst of the space... Among the worst, I would say; the other three top spots go to Sam Bankman Fried of FTX, Changpeng Zhao of Binance, and whatever specter is running Tether.

I get SBF, that's easy. And Tether. But why is Changpeng Zhao a bad actor? Legitimate question, not trying to be a crypto apolegist)

The general rule of thumb, is that, if it's nonviolent, and less than ten years, it's Camp Cupcake (minimum security -no walls). If it's over a decade, or violent/escape risk, then it's Leavenworth. I've known folks that have done both.

The lesson learned from Ross Ulbricht is that there's a good chance it's Leavenworth for non-violent internet crime. Edit: per usual folks come out of the woodwork to accuse Ross of murder-for-hire despite the fact he was not convicted of any murder related charge, only generic conspiracies for which the overt act could have been a number of options (such as drug distribution). The jury never specifically said the ov…

Where very far away? There are fine destinations: Belgrade, Istanbul, Vienna, Manchester, Varna (Bulgaria). I wouldn't say any of them were a particularly smart choice.
