Stealing other people’s money is no laughing matter, but I appreciated the touches of humor in this piece.

Naturally the worst crimes he committed aren’t on trial.

He was held in an island prison until democrats forced the government off that island to denounce election fraud charges against him and refuse extradition until those charges were dropped.

Because of course.

democrats taking money from his criminal enterprise.

I would call on all parents of high schoolers who are choosing a university right now, don’t do it! Or anyone considering entering university, especially an Ivy League, save your hard earned money, or the massive debt you’ll acquire.

Do anything else. But do not go to these bastions of poisonous, Marxist, unethical, anti-Semitic, violent, Lord of the Flies, hate factories. You will lose yourself to the demons lying await there, and you will lose your humanity.

You may think it’s an exaggeration. But just look at what university students deem acceptable today. They all need safe spaces and comfort animals, But they will scream to lock you up for misgendering them, or not recognizing white privilege, or for saying a man cannot be a woman. Yet they think nothing of cheering for babies and grandmas being burned or beheaded, or acting like a lynch mob with Jews, or terrorizing a young woman (Riley Gaines) by trapping her in a locked room while they are baying for blood at the door.

Universities have become vile, evil institutions and they are producing monsters inside of them.

Sam Bankman Fried is a product of the university culture. Both he and his parents in their superiority and arrogance lacked the morality to see that what their son was doing was ruining lives. They didn’t care because they were only defrauding the peons of society who should know better than to trust them.

Even now I’d take an easy bet SBF and his parents see nothing wrong with what he did. After all SBF is MIT and they are Stanford and they are Democrats. The rest of us are just the “Little people”.

The parents should be on trial with him. They raised him, advised him, and took money from him. Typical liberal grifters who think they deserve only the best and let the people eat cake!

He really is the antithesis of all the other corrupt billionaires that got taken down.

I was a tween during the Enron scandal, and I remember part of me fantasizing about how awesome their lives were. Remember Lau Pai (who basically got away with it all and now breeds purebred horses), who was notorious for inviting prostitutes to his private office since they never believed him? He was un-ironically my idol for a year. Even sickos like Jeffrey Epstien and Harvey Weinstein have their kind of sordid appeal to young boys.

But let's look at SBF's lifestyle, ignoring the fact he's a thief. Here's a man who has more wealth than essentially ANYONE can dream of. He's the 0.0001%. And he's basically failed in so many other areas of life. He's physically unfit and unattractive, his maybe-sometimes girlfriend ain't any easier on the eyes, he seems entirely too stressed out with his entire life revolving around work, he'll likely never have love, children, or a legacy, and didn't manage to amass much power or influence outside his sphere. He won in one domain, and lost every single other one. Here is a man anyone can point to and say "Wow, what a loser!"

One of the best parts of this story, for me, was when a text message/email revealed that a consultant told him he’d have to pretend to be interested in “woke shit” in order to ingratiate himself with the right people.

Whatever this guy gets, it won’t be enough. It’s too bad his grifter parents aren’t facing any charges for what they extracted from their son’s pretend company.

and the 10's of millions directed to tilt an already tilted election? He will get a long sentence which he won't have to finish and emerge with money on hand and sympathetic new stories.

I am disturbed...really disturbed...that little is included in recent stories about SBF about the millions contributed to politicians...about actual amounts, actual names, and whether ANY of them are returning those contributions so that the actual victims of actual fraud might receive pennies on the dollar of their losses.

Put him in Madoffs old cell. It’s empty and he can leave prison the same way Madoff did, feet first.

SBF will at least be able to quickly calculate the probability of unwanted attention if he drops the soap in the prison shower.

Joking aside though, I seriously do wonder if the Democratic Party might figure a way to come to his rescue....

I know you think he's 'a dead man walking', but I've become so jaded in our system of justice that I feel he'll somehow get off.

Frankly, the greatest crime of this century isn't what he did. It's what the DOJ, and corrupt judges have done to bring their partisanship and hackery to our court system. THEY have destroyed my faith (and 50% of my countrymen's faith) in the court system, because they've been blatantly dishonest in administering it.

Thanks Bari & Co. You have no idea how much I wish this asshat is dominating the headlines right now instead of the conflict in Israel

Just another typical con man.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely. When you think you are king then rules don’t apply to you.

Is anyone surprised that the Democrats were bankrolled by this fraud?

Lying and defrauding America defines the modern Democrat Party.
