white rich people doing tremendous financial crime get to stay out of out of jail. that's our classist, racist society. because 'danger' is about physical violence rather than include economic violence.

Pure Spirit@kevix @Popehat it’s insane to me that he was let go on bail, for essentially just a pinky promise to not flee. Despite potentially having many millions in untraceable assets, enough to set him up for life.
The magistrate judge made a huge mistake here. SBF can flee using his massive untraceable resources and deep web social network. A couple car swaps and bam he’s cozy in the woods. Why is SBF being treated like some upstanding citizen above fleeing?
