Bankman-Fried pulled a Bernie Madoff/Elizabeth Holmes, by screwing with wealthy people's money.

Yep. It's one of the only ways someone like him actually gets a real prison sentence.
Meanwhile all the January 6th traitors who tried to overthrow the government's sentences tend to be measured in months.

Exactly

Agreed, sorry made a similar statement, but didn't see your comment yet.

Sweet now do the human cheeto

That should have happened decades ago.

SBF should’ve just run for President. Clearly he’s an amateur grifter.
-
In 25 years.

"You think I was a POS then, just wait til you see what I learned in prison!"

Still can! Apparently you can be president from jail according to some.
Edit: In fact according to some, it would be dumb NOT to run for President, because if he wins he can just pardon himself.

Am I the only one amused that this guys name is Bankman?
-
I always read his name as Bankman-fraud
-
nominative determinism
-
Would've been an even more amusing play on words if he got the electric chair (but then again, maybe pun-based justice isn't something we should strive for)

Not to start whataboutism but is it not strange that he gets 25 years (I mean punishment deserved to be clear) but the biggest con artist in modern history is still on free foot ? Even though you maybe cannot compare it (I mean selling top secret stuff is not that harmful /s) it's a bit of double standards
SBF fucked with rich people's money.
Trump fucks with poor people's money.
That's the difference.
I don't know about that. He has a lot of rich donors giving him money. If he doesn't return on their investment, he is going to be in trouble.
You hit the nail on the head
Absolutely right. Different rules for Trump every single fucking time.
It all depends who you're hurting.
But is Trump really a bigger con man than SBF though? Sam was playing around numbers that Trump can only dream of. On the other hand Trump has run (and imploded) way more cons than SBF, so I guess it's a question of quality over quantity.
Yes.
