This guy is such a serial liar...I wonder why he doesn't have a lawyer advising him to avoid making statements on a public platform at this point.

It absolutely blows my mind; if this[1] failure of an attempt at a "get out of jail free" disclaimer is something you feel the need to write out so poorly, and in all caps, after your diatribe, maybe - MAYBE - you shouldn't have said a goddamn word.

"Your honor, whatever I've said should not be used against me in the court of law"...I can't make up this parody if I was a scriptwriter.

Here's another...SBF has stepped down, and his replacement is John J. Ray III, a famous bankruptcy lawyer who helped clean up Enron...yes, that Enron.

I bet is motto is the same as the one that gets these companies in trouble: “pay yourself first”.

Must be tough being a fiction writer these days.

I'm waiting for the Law&Order ripped from the headlines episode. Who will be the murder victim in the opening scene though? DUN DUN!!!

I suppose the writers could mine[0] this for inspiration.

Yeah! That was the tweet that made me suspect an anxiety attack / some other health condition.

The weirdest part is that all 23 tweets were posted simultaneously at 8:13am. So he had the opportunity to say nothing; he could’ve clicked “save draft” instead of “tweet all”.

heh how close together are the "save draft" and "tweet all" buttons?

Twitter should add Miranda warnings to the before-you-tweet prompts. It would be a reasonable use-case for ML classification.

This guy is just taking a play from the same book Trump, Musk, Kanye, etc use. Only, he's turned it up to an 11. It'd be a funny skit to see a Trump character reading this guy's tweets/interviews and saying "whoa"

Especially on twitter, where by default you only see the first few tweets of a chain.

"Here is a bunch of information about the ongoing potentially criminal collapse of my company - oh by the way I'm a bad dev so some of what I said above might be wrong, don't act on this information."

His parents are probably going to invoice him for legal advice at this point.
Re:FTX group companies commence voluntary chapter 11 proceed... by moogly on Friday November 11, 2022 @10:22AM (#33561910)
Because no one can tell who are real accounts and parody accounts on Twitter right now.

His parents are law professors at Stanford. It’s crazy. You think they’d make a call and tell him to just stop.
Re:FTX group companies commence voluntary chapter 11 proceed... by bombcar on Friday November 11, 2022 @02:08PM (#33565243)
I'm sure they have; does this look like someone who would listen to his parents?
