Could get probation?

My take is that SBF lived in his own world. He had no concern for others and no concern for managing a company. That’s actually where I think his parents failed. The company had no management, no systems in place and was just complete chaos.

If it had controls that it wouldn't have been successful or interesting. Lack of controls is the whole point in cryptocurrency.

They're economics professors. They should have stopped him.

All the people involved are extremely weird and creepy.

Are you sure. I read they were law school professors.

Law school ethics professors!!

But how come so many people were fooled into following him if he was so disconnected?

I never liked him before the scandal, I always thought his effective altruism was just straight up narcissistic — he was going to save the world and cure cancer and what not by making “all the money”. And he lived so extravagantly and flew private jets, it’s not like he stayed in his parents basement content to run his empire.

There are enough white collar Jews in prison that he might be able to find protection

It depends on where he is sent

I think he was pretty great at assessing risk - he gave heavily to both political parties ($100K+) during an election cycle, was 2nd top donor to Democrats. He had a meeting with Gary Gensler months before FTX collapsed.

I suspect there are many people who would like him locked up asap and for him to be out of the news - like out of the news today.

More precisely an inability to correctly evaluate their capability or risk.

Yeah what is up with Lewis? He’s all gushy about this “misunderstood kid genius”. His interview with Couric?

People say SBF speaks to weave people in, but I’ve never seen him speak in any convincing way. I guess the disdain he had for others by playing video games in meetings as if he had so much mental energy he had to keep himself occupied in “unengaging” interviews. Narcissistic I suppose?

Misunderstood genius…. Spoiled entitled not expected or taught to engage others properly.

I suspect his Dad steered the company to the Bahama's location so they would not be subject to US laws and for tax evasion purposes. His Dad would have known how to evade corporate taxes.

Oh god. No. It’s because it was of uncertain legality to operate a crypto exchange on US soil.

Which is what you said.

It’s like saying someone grew weed in California instead of Russia because of Russian taxes and laws. Sure taxes would apply… but it’s the laws that are the problem. Not the taxes.
