I am as happy as anyone about arrogant half-smart crypto bros being called out as the frauds they are.

It is still sad that a young person's life is taken away today. I don't think any type of nonviolent crime should get anyone a life sentence, especially not in a prison system as inhumane as in the US.

Sentencing isn't until March, and it's pretty unlikely he'll get a life sentence. Could be decades though.

Who would have thought that Ross is followed by SBF.

Hmm, I don't usually see people defending white collar crime as being oversentenced.

Revenge isn’t cool, but it did just get that much harder to become a crypto-bro-ponzi-scheming-asshole, of which SBF is the biggest x dumbest kind.

But if we’re so worried about individual lives, like SBF’s life in prison, what can we do to save the lives that he’s ruined?

Help me understand how letting SBF off the hook could be a net positive for society or how he could begin to repay his debt without indulging in similar activities.
