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.
It turns out not everything is a conspiracy.

It's clear Caroline Ellison has turned against him. Stephanie Avakian, former SEC enforcement chief, is representing her in NY. I'm guessing they wouldn't have been able to file charges this quickly without Caroline becoming a cooperating witness.
Hm... does that mean she gets away scot-free? Not sure that's fair, she seems very complicit.

I think SBF made it too easy and the fact that he has been on a media frenzy trying to play innocent here must be a slap in the face to the AG.
He seemed to be throwing out the idea there maybe some way to make all the money back and provide restitution. More like a PR ploy IMO.

It is specified in the document that they will extradite him to the US
No, it says the US is likely to request extradition - but has not yet. SBF was scheduled to appear remotely (Zoom or similar) before congress tomorrow. It also says the US has filed criminal charges, which is the first I'm hearing of this. As an aside - anyone else think it makes congress appear weak to still be allowing people to remotely testify? They supposedly are the most powerful and important legislative body…
Not really. Not being compelled to testify against yourself is also one of the most important rights this country has enshrined.

That’s equivalent to saying if a bank goes insolvent you should’ve had your money in a safe at home. For crypto yes you can have a hard wallet, but it can still be stolen from you without anyone physically touching your hard wallet. I don’t and won’t see the appeal for crypto until it has a killer app that people NEED to use for another reason than “I can get rich quick”
> that people NEED All the depositors have the extremely pressing NEED of not having all their deposits stolen from them. Blockchains mathematically prevent fraudulent misuse of deposits. People aren't mad about SBF taking a wrench to their head. They're mad about SBF defrauding them. Could not have happened on a blockchain.
Depending on the argument I hear that the ledger is anonymous or not anonymous.
Honestly, one of my concerns is that a figure like SBF has one similarity with Jeffrey Epstein - both was/are highly connected individuals. I fear waking up one day to the sudden reveal of SBF's "long hidden battle with depression", before a strange last-minute relocation, then another strange event, then... My gut feeling is that SBF won't rat-out any corruption that goes way up to the stratosphere of US politics, a…

You just can't give the current administration anything can you? It's like a mental block
Having "Wirefraud" as the name of your group chat on Signal is something that the prosecutors are going to love when proving intent...
> me: how do I signal my genuinely sweet and feminine nature on my dating profile? should it go before or after the section on wire fraud
Why did he stay in the bahamas? Was he allowed to travel?
I can't imagine why he wouldn't flee. If i was committing ~9 figures worth of fraud, I would have huge stashes of 1oz gold bars buried in countries without extradition like Vietnam and venezuela. He seems like he had no exit plan thought up. Madoff got 150 years in prison, and i dont see any reason why SBF would get any less.
If you committed a billion in fraud, you probably wouldn't be shitposting on Twitter or giving interviews that made a prosecuter's case easier, either.
Guess what, you're smarter than this dude.
