SBF got a reduced sentence and his second trial scuttled because he agreed to keep his mouth shut about his “donations” to the Democrats.

[@lynchsc420]

Are you implying he is only getting prosecuted because he also donated to republicans?

[@user-nu4py2mu6o]

@@lynchsc420 - There’s scant evidence that SBF actually donated to Republicans. You want us to take SBF’s word that he did (indeed) donate to Republicans when there’s a paper trail of $45 million going to Democrats? Hilarious. We know that Democrats accepted at least $45 million from SBF (who was their second largest donor in the 2020 election cycle). How much of that stolen money has been returned by Democrats? 2.2% (less than one million dollars). Democrats have kept at least $44 million dollars that SBF stole from investors. You’re going to attempt to deflect from that by utilizing whataboutism based upon the words of the thief that stole the money in the first place. Cite the empirical evidence that SBF actually donated anywhere near $45 million to Republicans (naming the Republicans), or face the fact that just complaining about Republicans is a cop out to make excuses for SBF and Democrat corruption.

At the very least, they should return the funds to the court-appointed people who are trying to make restitution to as many investors whose money was stolen by SBF.

And the Democrats that got money from this don't have to give any back.

[@PepeToTheMooon]

He’ll be out in less than 5 years. Guaranteed.

[@user-nu4py2mu6o]

12.5 years is the earliest he could be released with a pardon.

[@ninocrown3247]

Only on appeal. He got 25 years in the Feds, which require 80% of sentence served before parole consideration. There are things in prison you can volunteer for if eligible to cut time. I’m sure his legal team will get him placed in each one.

[@darrellbryant1018]

Na, fed time is date to date. No parole. But due to the First Step Act he can shave off 50% of his sentence with good behavior.

Jessica, his pseudo hedge fund was called Alameda not Al-Maida 6:09 Different topic: Those politicians, which were Democrat and GOP, should be forced to return the donations SBF gave them to the receivership group who is making restitution to people whose money was stolen by FTX. Giving the money to charity is unacceptable. The receivership group has been working on returning whatever is left to people whom SBF stole from.

[@wekurtz72]

Meanwhile, if you attack the police or feel the need to dismantle previously deceased individuals, you get a no-bail release and a good talking to. Good thing our priorities are straight.

[@buffhardback7595]

Theres literally nothing backing up American money either, BTW... just sayin

[@strawpiglet]

Yeah, it's all faith based. One thing you know for sure about the dollar is that it will lose value. Crypto is very risky but it actually has a potential upside.

SBF did not defraud investors of millions of dollars. He gambled with their money. If the gamble fails then his investors will lose their money. But if the gamble succeeds they will get all their money back. Right now it is looking as though the FTX creditors are looking at a 100% payout!

I stand with Sam here, he was "reallocating" money for a better cause...arguing that he used it for a "lavish lifestyle" is ridiculous, he always was humble and prudent in money spending. 13 million mansion (for the WHOLE team) is not an exception. Granted he played the capital game to harshly but I sincerely believe that his effective altruism ideology is based and just imagine how transformative of a change somebody with his mindset could have brought to our society. What a loss!! I m also deeply dissapointed by the public perception only focusing on surface level missmanagement technicalities.
