Hm... does that mean she gets away scot-free? Not sure that's fair, she seems very complicit.
I'm sure SBF has plenty of dirt on her as well, and he'll start talking much sooner than anticipated. She will go to jail, definitely.
He may never see the world outside of a jail again. Most white-collar criminals are released on bail. But after extradition, it's different.[1] "The Bail Reform Act ... and the attendant presumption in favor of bail for persons facing trial, apply only to criminal defendants and are inapplicable to fugitives facing extradition proceedings. Because of the potential harm to the country's international relations that co…

> Blockchains mathematically prevent the misuse of deposits Depending on the argument I hear that the ledger is anonymous or not anonymous.
Anonymity is completely separate. Anonymity has nothing to do with the property that you cannot steal on the blockchain. How do you think blockchains even work? Read primary sources before vaguely disagreeing.
If I’ve mistaken your argument then please correct me. I’m familiar with blockchain and have contributed to multiple projects in the open source community back when I saw potential and promise in blockchain tech.
-- should be interesting - watched all of his interviews - if ftx usa is fully solvent and no mingling was done on the US accounts - and those trading on the other exchanges had a different TOS with clauses related to margin accounts - very curious to see what happens - very small chance he wiggles off the hook - maybe? --

Say it with me: Blockchains mathematically prevent fraudulent misuse of deposits Yes, on/off ramps are an issue. Yes, blockchains do not prevent physical threats of violence or profound custodial negligence. No, SBF would not have been able to defraud millions of depositors on a blockchain where everyone self-custodied.
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…
Having "Wirefraud" as the name of your group chat on Signal is something that the prosecutors are going to love when proving intent...
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'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 Ellison will get off scot free since she only controlled Alameda, and not entirely. Her crimes are probably minor and worth forgiving for her testimony. At least that’s my hot take.
