[–] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com [S] 14 points 2 years ago (2 children) Dude is up for a century behind bars. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] netburnr@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago Or "commits suicide" in like 2 days permalink fedilink source parent [–] loobkoob@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) Not to defend the guy because he seems awful, but a century is just absurd. There's no way I'm going to be thinking in ~50 years' time, "damn, I'm glad 80-year-old Sam Bankman-Fried is off the streets, I wouldn't feel safe if he were free". It just seems disproportionately high. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TheHog@feddit.uk 10 points 2 years ago Then you don't understand the scale of what it is this guy did. The lives he's ruined. The money he has cost the tax payers. The hyper inflation he has helped put into motion for all Americans, and allys. You blame oil prices or immigrants or whatever for everything going to shit and getting expensive. No. It's people like this and the corrupt politicians that enables this shit. permalink fedilink source parent

It cant ever be their fault for losing money. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Chozo@kbin.social 14 points 2 years ago (2 children) Rich people weren't the only ones affected by his fraud. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] squiblet@kbin.social 19 points 2 years ago Yeah, but they're the reason he got prosecuted and will probably get a serious sentence. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Neato@kbin.social 13 points 2 years ago (1 child) If rich people aren't hurt, no justice is likely to be seen. TONS of crypto and NFT scams that scammed tons of money. They don't go to prison because they mostly targeted normal people. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] tym@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 7 months ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent
