Can you imagine if Bernie Madoff had told the attorney general that he just needed a few more weeks to find new investors in order to make his customers whole.

SBF comes off as an extremely naive and sheltered kid who doesn't understand that committing fraud is still fraud even if you have good intentions.

Similarly, can you imagine the media not objecting to Madoff using euphemisms like SBF, e.g. how he "just needs liquidity" or support for his capital position?
