SBF's public conduct over the past weeks, and alleged conduct over the past years, reinforces an image of unintelligence. Be it genuine stupidity, stimulants or both, he isn't top-of-the-doghouse material. (Granted, easy to say ex post facto .) The elephants in the room are Binance and Tether, together with certain high-profile investors. Taking some of these out could likely be worth a plea bargain. (For optics, he…

He is intelligent enough to understand what he's doing and he's going to jail regardless of optics.

Surely he had enough money to order a private jet or yacht or both.

He could have just incognito slipped aboard a fishing vessel. Grease the right palms and his tails, “Could not believe he gave us the slip”

And this fishing vessal travels open ocean to another country advoiding their navy?

Alright, well, now that that's done - let's go find all those people in the past threads who were saying things like SBF will never be arrested.

No, look forward and get Binance and the Tether guys.

Better yet arrest everyone who had ever run crypto business of any kind. Release these who can prove innocent...

You still pass through passport control. There was talk that he was followed around everywhere in Bahamas by the police. Like I said, there are ways to keep someone on an island without arresting them. Especially in this case, what was he going to do, sue?

you don't need to pass through passport control to get on a boat. You can walk to any beach and get on a dingy that takes you to a larger boat.

Considering Zelensky has only been president for three years, you’ve just made very clear what your agenda is.

Quoted post unavailable.

The only commonality between those 3 people is that they're Jewish. There are good and bad people from every race and gender. "Russian" in the case you're talking about is not an ethnicity, so it's a false equivalence.

I recommend you pull yourself away from the Anti-Semitic Point Of No Return. That way leads to social ostracism, and for no good reason at all.

[edit] As I said elsewhere, I stand corrected. I thought you were dog-whistling.

I found it funny that people wouldn't stop going "why is Elizabeth Holmes sentenced to jail while SBF roams free??". The Theranos fraud started in the early 2000s. The company imploded in ~2015. Holmes and Balwani were charged in 2018. They were finally tried and sentenced in late 2022. And the saga will likely continue with appeals. And all of this happened double quick as far as the justice system is concerned.

The FTX saga has been going on for a few weeks now. Keep that popcorn away and wait.
