    Brett Harrison should be in prison. He lied and stated tokenized stocks were backed by an actual share 1:1.

    He departed FTX conveniently just before their demise.

    SBF is right where he belongs— but Brett Harrison and Caroline Ellison should be his cell mates too in my opinion.

    Listened to the ‘If Books Could Kill’ episode on ‘Going Infinite’ by Michael Lewis. Despite Lewis being a blind fan of Sam Bankman-Fried, he makes him sound like an absolute sociopath. I think that sure Sam might’ve been the fall guy and some other dudes should be in jail too, but I also think that he absolutely has some serious mental problems and probably shouldn’t be allowed to run a business ever again.

    Didn’t he openly played video games in the middle of an investor call?

    If he is set up to be the fail guy, they could not have picked a worst person, because everything about him screams “you shouldn’t trust this guy with your money”.

        I believe that there is probably a huge list of others who should be in there with him and that its entirely possible that he was made an example of more than might have been legally necessary.

        Theres been a lot of dodgy shit, outright fraud and scams attached to crypto that its not outside the realms of possibility that they wanted him nailed to the wall to send a message.

          Again then. Sometimes it’s important not to talk about others and spend some time self reflecting. He’s not there yet. For me, the power of denial is overrated.

        I don’t see it, but okay.

        If the article was about him starting a cigarettes exchange scam inside prison, well, we’d be talking!
