The co-founder of failed cryptocurrency exchange FTX pleaded not guilty to a seven count indictment charging him with wire fraud, securities fraud and money laundering.
An attorney for FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried said in federal court Tuesday his client has to subsist on bread, water and peanut butter because the jail he’s in isn’t accommodating his vegan diet.
My understanding is that it’s a really shitty jail, so yes.
i don’t relish the idea of keeping people in cages and this guy in particular just seems stupid. i don’t think there is a good case to be made that inconveniencing him for weeks months or years does us any good, especially since maintaining jails is, itself, kind of inconvenient for us.
think harder
if you have another perspective you can express it.
I’m not debating the merits of anything about him any more than I would for Bernie Madoff. If you’re unable to see for yourself already why SBF and people like him deserve the realization of actual punishment in jail and/or prison for obvious entitled fuckery and fraudulent behavior that contributed to devastating financial losses for others while they acted like millionaire douchebros in the Bahamas, then thought they’d get away with “sorry, I fucked up”, there’s nothing I can say to correct that. Off you go now.
you havent actually justified locking up con men.
Duh. To make an example of them to deter other con men from doing the same thing. Same as for drunk drivers who kill people with their cars. No further respect, debate or justification needed. Fuck them and you.
that doesn’t work, but i’m glad to see how empathetic you are
It does work, just not 100%.
Punishment is a valid reason to put someone in prison when it’s a serious offence.
