Yeah, I thought the reason he was in jail was because he aired ads and sponsored arenas trying to convince folks to put money into his seemingly legitimate platform that he was actually using as his personal bank account.

Is he in jail for being disgraced? I'm confused there, I thought it was for massive amounts of fraud and money laundering?

I am not relitigating his conviction here. I am assessing the relative threat were he to succeed and be pardoned. Simple.

If one more billionaire escapes legal justice this decade, the relative threat might just be a prolitariat revolution.

Adam Neumann has a new co-working play now, we are at the point where investors probably would throw money at SBF were he released.

Was he not making an appeal to the architect - er figurhead - of the authoritarian state?

I think a system where billionaire scammers get away with their crimes is more of a threat to me than a system where prisoners are treated poorly. Over the course of my life, I expect I'll have to do business with dozens or hundreds of companies run by billionaires who might scam me, whereas I don't expect I'll ever go to prison.
1. A disgraced crypto bro trying to throw a hail mary to get out of prison
2. An authoritarian state growing by leaps and bounds daily
Again as a rational person, which of these two is more serious and therefore warranting action (even at the level of constructing good faith interpretations)?
