Great video, Patrick, as always. Tiffany's description of Sam is very convincing to me.

Professors have no idea what they're talking about in class? No problem, we're amazing, everything will be sorted out. Your classmates don't do anything and graduate from Computer Engineering without knowing how to code? Don't worry, we'll be fine, just don't tell anyone or else our reputation will be tarnished. Professors and grad students fake data to publish in journals, and people steal money from donations? Hey, don't be toxic. Everyone deserves a second chance. Expectations there are extremely high, we all grew up thinking we'd be the genius wunderkind we saw on TV. Some of us, though, when confronted with evidence that things were much more complicated than it was shown to us, eventually grew out of it and are working honestly. Others, like Sam, chose to go the other route and create these fake companies. I guess they'll now have to answer for it...

I hear Patrick laughs and see him smile. I will let that sink in for a bit. Great presentation by both of them!

[@predley]

WHATTTTT?...You are the bomb Patrick, loved that you had the Tiff on and enjoyed the recap on the SBF trial.

[@emmanuelmiranda2460]

Brilliant. Better than any news channel by a mile. Thankyou both.

[@kieranelliott5607]

SBF's dad seems particularly close to things at FTX, that has to make them worried now. Couldn't resist the lure of easy money I guess.

[@Vilaun.]

I agree ! At a minimum they were complicit in wire fraud.

[@okaythankyoubyeee2501]

They will get their subpoenas soon enough I think

[@Lemma01]

Hope they get their just desserts...🎉

Tiffany and Patrick at once, my two favorite finance youtubers in one place :O

[@dameneko]

Glad to see Tiff on here! She was such a trooper throughout the trial, bringing us timely updates. I hope she can get some rest this weekend! Side note, SBF is actually a terrible gamer -- he is a poser, just like he was with the budget car.

[@vashkarpalma8165]

He is like an idiot teenager who has nothing to do and play games mindlessly whole day from his parents basement.

[@AnP865]

I heard that AOC is better than him at League of Legends, not sure where I heard that, might have even been Patrick's channel at some point

[@m.m.2597]

Thanks TIff, great job!

[@ShawnTheRazor]

When he was asked questions from his lawyer it was well thought out and he remembered everything. When asked during cross examination he suddenly couldn't remember anything! Hahaha

[@jamdoodles]

Thank you for featuring Tiffany: her coverage has been invaluable

[@AnP865]

You two have great chemistry I hope some time to see more chat like this!

[@FirstName-rt9uf]

Great show as always. Real information not sugar coated. And the banter is always great, like three buddies making fun of each other like buds do.

[@paulstevens1493]

Love this collaboration, the algorithm sent me Tiffany Fong a couple weeks ago and her coverage was so good that I had to sub

[@evanburrows1697]

2:55 _"All of these things are bad. And if you've been considering doing any of these things, hopefully you've learnt from Sam Bankman Fried's mistakes."_ SO TRUE. I was seriously considering becoming a fake billionaire and getting a drug addicted girlfriend with a face like a smashed crab, but now I know better! ;)

But.. but.. but.. he'll be out in 15 years. 😂

[@kimwiser445]

His parents were part of this and should also be held responsible.

[@DrBoobY2K]

You two have great rapport without it getting in the way of the flow of the facts and information, and Tiffany is clearly so deep in the trial that she could answer pretty much any question about SBF in her sleep. Great guest choice.

[@karlfran0404]

Tiffany Fong is excellent. I have three KZbin casters I listen to for insights; you of course Patrick (I’m not even Liberian), CoffeeZilla and Tiff.

[@NewJak14]

Thanks for the great courtroom analysis! Great video!

[@njh4473]

Patrick, your are simply the best, absolutely love the humor talking about serious issues. Keep the videos coming and keep up the great work.

[@extrememike]

Glad to see you both team up. This is fun and informative! 👏🏻👏🏻

[@GlenDoer-gq1rs]

Bankman Fried is now Fried.

Wonder if anyone has done the math on how many centuries of customers labor SBF reduced to zero.

[@dwightlarson6449]

Great job Patrick and Tiffany

[@martinmcbeth6578]

So much great deadpan humor here while dealing with a serious subject. As usual.😄

[@duoasch]

Im not trying to defend sam but a system where co conspirators can just group up, put all the shit one one person and get away with almost no punishment is insane to me.

[@GTO20122012]

😂 I love how informative and smartly sarcastic the host is ….I just love it !!!!!!!

[@clyderichardson6475]

Patrick, thanks so much!

[@McKinleyMacDoran]

Amazing collab @TiffanyFong and @PBoyle! Please cover more in March 2024.

[@ozthebeeman]

I've never been happier to hear the words "guilty on all charges"

[@David-ud9ju]

Why?

[@ozthebeeman]

@@David-ud9ju I genuinely can't tell if you're serious. But the reason I'm so happy he's found guilty on all charges, is because of how much he denied it and used the cheapest tricks to try and get away. Fainting ignorance is such a shitt behaviour because of how hard it is to definitively prove he's guilty. Is so shitty to say I'm just that dumb when we all know how malicious his actions are and he should be held accounted to them. Him being cough and held charged for all of his shitty actions is such a good feeling, when so often people like him go free.

[@Ln-cq8zu]

All this does is warn amateurs off from playing with the "big boys" You need to get real first and foremost. Soreeeee 😮

[@YourCapyFrenBigly_3DPipes1999]

@@ozthebeeman I don't know if he's malicious or not, all I know is he did nothing different than ALL OF WALL STREET AND THE BIG BANKS DO EVERY DAY, yet he was the only one charged. That's interesting don't you think?

[@ozthebeeman]

@@YourCapyFrenBigly_3DPipes1999 I 100% agree that him being the only one charged when other were involved is a little sus, and kind of a problem of the American judicial system, yes I know a lot of others co-operated with the law to land Sam in jail, but I still think a bit of time might have been needed, but than again this is one of the first times a crypto fraud was charged fully as a fraud, meaning they really needed to both set an example for others and make sure the law is clear for the next fraud. So them being more interested in landing one singular figure, is 100 understandable. Now for the wall street point, ye I got nothing to say, it's a legit problem in America that it's allowed to reach these levels of shit.

[@KyleLarson557]

I never thought Patrick and Tiffany would ever be on the same show.

[@Ln-cq8zu]

Beauty and the beast 💕

[@keaixiaomeinv]

What a wholesome interview. You're both great together!

[@keaixiaomeinv]

@Textnow_PatrickBoyle. Nice try. Reported and blocked.

[@michaelderyder426]

So awesome you brought Tif on. You two are my absolute favorite!

[@namewastaken360]

The thing I don't understand is why they let the others off just because they cooperated when it seems there would have been plenty of evidence without their testimony.

[@mad6andchili]

I’m not sure there is a clear cut case without at least one of them. Sam’s whole defense was that he was a victim of his underlings, if you don’t have the underlings then you don’t have the full and correct narrative, which would not work on the prosecutions favor.

[@AussieRider20]

As a general rule people who co-operate get lighter sentences. Elisson and Wong cooperated fully and plead guilty. It was also their testimony that prevented SBF from using his defence of being a victim of his employees.

[@flintliddon]

Nope. There would not have been.

[@jeffshackleford3152]

@@AussieRider20 that isn't a vel8d defense. You can't be in charge of a company, collect profits and not be responsible for your underlings actions. Whether you have knowledge or not.

[@AussieRider20]

@@jeffshackleford3152 it absolutely can if you're claiming your employees took illegal actions and actively concealed that from you. If he convinced a jury he was ignorant of the fraud other people were perpetrating he may have been found not guilty or at least gotten a hung jury. Maybe you wouldn't accept that as a defence if you're on a jury but all he needed was a few people to believe those claims and he'd have gotten away with what he did

[@sacragon]

Tiffany is so charismatic, wow.

[@victorespino5650]

Really, it looks and sounds weird to be laughing during parts that aren't even funny. Lol. Looks forced
