Sam Bankman-Fried = guilty!
Looks like he's going away for a long time, too. Anyone here following this?

Following it somewhat. He’s toast. Everyone turned on him and testified against him. And he made the ill- advised choice to testify in his own defense. Easy conviction. Hope he rots for life.

He had no choice. They weren't going to cut him a deal because everyone else sang to save their own skins, so he shot his shot, long as it was.

True. It was a Hail Mary shot. He had nothing to lose, I guess, but testifying in your own defense rarely works out. And he was horrible on the witness stand.Bono Nettencourt wrote: ↑Sun Nov 05, 2023 2:30 pm He had no choice.

Sentencing announced today. 25 years in the pokey, though maybe less with good behavior:

"Hello, I need my 8 billion dollars back, can you arrange for a transfer?"
"(short silence) ... uuuuh, what 8 billion dollars are you talking about?"

"At trial, the court heard from an accounting expert who said that $11.3bn in customer funds were supposed to be held at Alameda Research, FTX’s hedge fund arm. But only $2.3bn could be located. The rest had gone toward investments, political contributions, charity foundations and real estate purchases. FTX, remarkably, had left almost no records of transactions"

It's good to be bad
It's the best time you'll ever have
What the hell is this ultra sad
Pray for your cool and work on that ass!

This is what happens when you run a business under the influence of micro-dosing on shrooms, ecstasy, and who knows what else. At least the DNC got a shit-ton of contributions.
