In the end, the FTX trial was about the friends screwed along the way::As the prosecution has made its case against Sam Bankman-Fried, a simultaneous drama of ruined lives is playing out. Everyone who was close to Bankman-Fried is also exposed.

    It’s weird how the media insists on describing a 30 year old man who committed defrauded folks of millions of dollars like he’s a teenager. Like this was just a group of teenagers who didn’t really understand what they were doing until things got out of hand.

      I’m actually ok with this character assassination. He’s clearly not a person who ever really grew or matured.

        I wonder how long he’s been on Adderall/diagnosis date? This is the methiest situation I’ve ever heard and yes, I know, meth != mixed amphetamine salts (amphetamine/dextroamphetamine), but I challenge the disagreeer to fight me cuz I’m winning that fight every single time.

        Also, I’m not really touching on the culpabillity part with respect to the “methy” nature of the situation other than to say literally nobody else who’s not white and rich and so well-pedigreed/messy-haired would receive this treatment, except maybe Trump. SBF should have been in jail immediately, he’s not innocent or inept, he’s entitled and well-resourced and internet/computer “savvy” and doesn’t give a fuck about anybody else.
