"Ja. Das ist voll komisch, oder? Ist das ein Kunstprojekt, diese ganzen komischen Bilder? Und bei ein paar sind auch wir und Mama dabei. Wann hat er uns denn gefilmt?"
"Kunst passt so gar nicht zu ihm. Der hat doch immer nur mit irgendwelchen Maschinen rumgewerkelt."
"Genau. Wie der Motorradhelm da drüben mit den Kabeln dran."
"Egal. Schrott?"
"Schrott!"

ABC News: Top Stories | Judge denies Sam Bankman-Fried new trial after financial fraud conviction
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
A federal judge in New York denied Sam Bankman‑Fried’s request for a new trial, ruling that the “newly discovered” witnesses he cited were already known to him before his 2023 fraud conviction and offered no exculpatory evidence. Judge Lewis Kaplan said Bankman‑Fried had neither sought nor compelled their testimony and that there was no proof they would contradict his guilt in the collapse of the crypto‑exchange FTX. The judge called the motion a baseless attempt to rehabilitate his reputation, affirming the 25‑year prison sentence and $11 billion forfeiture imposed after the founder was found guilty on seven counts of fraud, conspiracy and money‑laundering.

Yeah.... Them powerful rich folk get a bit hot under the collar when you make their money go missing.
Maybe he should have been a liquor store strong armed robber instead, coz he'd be outta jail by now.
And his conversion to being a Crystal Methodist didn't help things much either.

Business Latest | Stop Trying to Unmask Satoshi Nakamoto by Katie Drummond
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Ben McKenzie, the actor‑director best known for “The O.C.,” spent the past five years warning that cryptocurrency is a dangerous, cult‑like speculation scheme, arguing that the mystery surrounding Bitcoin’s creator Satoshi Nakamoto only fuels its mythic appeal. In a Wired interview he explains that crypto’s core promise—“fixing the broken financial system”—is false, noting that most use cases are limited to speculation, gambling, and illicit activity, with an estimated $150 billion of crime funneled through digital currencies each year. He recounts his 2022 Senate Banking Committee testimony, his 2023 book *Easy Money* (co‑authored with Jacob Silverman), and his documentary *Everyone Is Lying to You for Money*, which expose the industry’s fraud, the role of corporations in mining Bitcoin, and the systemic risk posed by stablecoins that masquerade as fiat‑backed money. McKenzie believes crypto should be treated as a security, tightly regulated, and ultimately eliminated as a legitimate monetary system, while acknowledging that its existence highlights the deep failures of the current financial order.

Sam Bankman-Fried’s affidavit has arrived. He says his attorneys of record had no input into his motion for a new trial, but that he shared drafts with his parents (both attorneys). “They made editorial and organizational suggestions, some of which I incorporated”
He also writes “As I have had to focus on responding to these questions rather than drafting a response to the prosecution's opposition, and because I do not believe I will get a fair hearing on this topic in front of you, I am now requesting to withdraw the Rule 33 motion” (for a new trial)
