I fully support disgraced capitalists being goofy. When the revolution comes the funniest should get slightly reduced punishments so each one has to to out-jester the other
I mean idk what his assets are like (if since this was a finance crime they were seized or something) but if this guy is going to gen pop prison for almost a decade and lost his assets, guy at least for now is effectively a worker again. real prison, like death, is quite the equalizer. Still likely maintains bourgeois mentality, but hell; if this is his attitude going in maybe there's hope yet. As it stands he poses no class threat to the workers while this is his fate. He's basically a stand-up comic now.
And looking shallowly at it and the case he was tied to he didn't even hurt anyone real. it looks like they just ripped off rich crypto douches and corporations of them and then used some of that for campaign finance for his democrat wife (meanwhile we got Nancy fucking Pelosi here), which is why they're being punished; it was white(collar)-on-white(collar) crime unlike the bankers and real estate ghouls that Obama and the democrats shielded and bailed out in 2008 who ruined huge masses of regular working people. relative to that it's really victimless crime tbh.
Almost certainly those people logged into linkdn, it witlessly told them Ryan had a new position and had a button you press to “congratulate him” and they all pushed it without even reading what the position was. It’s perfect.
It would be pretty funny if in 2 weeks he updates it to "Prison Snitch at CFI Cumberland" then in 2 months it's "Executive Prison Snitch at CFI Cumberland" then "Patient at CFI Cumberland Infirmary" after getting shanked, then finally "Cadaver at St John's Hospital Cumberland".
Welcome to the working class for the next near-decade! If he gets reeducated maybe he can become a stand-up comedian
Honestly I don't know or care about this case beyond shallowly scanning a couple articles but it seems they only really punished cuz it was white(collar)-on-white(collar) crime. Unlike the bankers and real estate ghouls who ruined huge masses of regular working people by 2008, who Obama and the democrats protected and effectively rewarded them for doing so, this is practically a victimless crime. What real person got hurt here? Other rich crypto douchebags and other hedge funds and corporations of finance capital parasites? who cares
They all deserve the same fate and they wanna clutch their pearls. I guess this guy used some of that scammed money for campaign finance for his democrat wife which is part of the charge, but meanwhile we have Nancy goddamn Pelosi doing blatant insider trading her entire career all the time with her husband.
