@Popehat sounds like you should do some on the ground reporting, maybe an expensed trip to the Bahamas is in order.

@Popehat Guessing that SBF will apply the same level of scrutiny to appointing his legal representatives as he did to his auditors.
Pro-se. I'm saying he will go pro-se.

@Skeptiguy @Popehat i started to rewrite To Anacreon in Heaven with appropriate lyrics beginning "Pro-se can you see..." but this damned post-covid brain fog is making it impossible.

@Skeptiguy @Popehat
I dunno. I suspect it took a reasonable amount of thought and effort to find auditors willing to sign their names to absolute bullshit.

Though given his expressed views on lawyers, I expect a similar level of effort.

@Popehat Think the podcast would expense a trip to the Bahamas? For research, obviously.

@Popehat I’m expecting you to respond to my disappointment that he was charged in SDNY (where transactions cleared) rather than ND Cal (where the business was before it moved offshore).
Show threadNicholas WeaverDec 13, 2022

@Popehat

What about the SDNY being a bunch of glory-seeking cowboys? SBF was going to testify remotely in front of a House committee tomorrow, which surely would have been an opportunity for him to implicate himself even more under the glare of some not very friendly questioning.

Oh, and here's the treaty, pretty damn not-getting-outta-it territory for SBF

@Popehat Is there, like, maybe, any tiny chance that SBF did… well… you know… like… did the… the… RICO?

@Popehat
Glad you're here!
It's probably not RICO, I'm guessing.
