Ken WhiteYou know, I know I've said people should not talk, go on TV, go on radio, or tweet about their crimes, but I must admit I have never specifically said not to substack about them. That's my bad.
Dee Dinge@Popehat Ah..another Popehat breadcrumb requiring me to go do some research......
John Minnihanbad lawyer no biscuit
Read along with Matt@Popehat There's no law that says a dog can't substack about its crimes
Kim Scheinberg@Popehat
Surely you've been a lawyer long enough to know that he doesn't believe he committed any crimes.
My criminal defense attorney said in his 40 year career he had maybe a dozen innocent clients, and 90% of clients who absolutely believed in their own innocence.
(And oddly, two of the genuinely innocent ones were always second-guessing themselves believing they must be guilty somehow.)
Rumpole@kims @Popehat LOL. I 2nd-chaired a criminal trial with a really experienced defense lawyer who said similar things. Our guy (my idiot cousin) was actually innocent and the jury eventually agreed.
But while they were out deliberating for an hour or so, my senior smoked almost a pack of cigs, he was so stressed about rep'ing an innocent defendant and maybe screwing it up.
Corey Rayburn Yung@Popehat What about Post, Medium, and Mastodon? Those are still okay, right?
@Popehat Please let me know ASAP. I need to tell my Criminal Law students during our first class meeting on Tuesday.
Xena362@coreyrayburnyung @Popehat hopefully his parents, both lawyers/professors at Stanford, will do the same 
PeoriaBummer@Popehat I’ll just add no skywriting, decorating cakes, writing in Christmas lights, sending postcards, naming species of dinosaur, getting tattoos, or cheerleading about your crimes.
Jesse FShoot, not even sending postcards!? *tears up stack of postcards behind back* USPS is gonna be bummed when mail volume drops.
How do we feel about extended interpretive dances that are evocative of one's crimes?
Howlin’ Hobbit@yetanotherjesse dunno about your part of “we,” but my part feels the same way about it as I do about *all* interpretive dance.
kill it with fire.
Simon BitdiddleWalls of pushpins, photos, notes, and red string are still cool, right?
Grant Gould@PeoriaBummer @Popehat So much for wirefraudasaurus, antitrustodactyl, and the always elusive RICOdon...
RojCowlesBut a light opera in the style of Gilbert and Sullivan, with the timeless rendition of "I am the very model of a modern white collar criminal" would be OK?

Paul Church@Popehat Ken, if evidence of my crimes is only available to Patreons at the $10 tier or above...
David Lewisare you suggesting there's no substacker-reader privilege 😜
Random Damage 🌻@Popehat I for one would like to encourage people to blather endlessly about their crimes in as many venues as possible.
Just to make sure they get proper credit, donchakno
Rhett Derrick@Popehat I only talk about my crimes on my OnlyFans. If the feds want incriminating evidence, they’re going to have to pay for it dammit. And then I can impeach the agent by getting him to admit that he had to pay for the evidence, calling into question it’s reliability.
Doctor Memory@Popehat Whatever he's paying his attorneys, it cannot possibly be enough.
Adam Shostack 
Marc Jacobs@Popehat I want to see the expense report for AUSAs subscribing to that Substack.
Unlettered Peasant@trollball @Popehat
One of my many questions for SBF would be what is the subscriber breakdown by email domain, specifically how many are doj.gov, sec.gov, cftc.gov...

@justanotherengineer @Popehat Would love to see that, too.
Dirk Hohndel@Popehat and people wonder why legal texts have these weird lists of verbs:
"... shall agree not to speak, write, sign, discuss, elucidate, sing, chant, or in any other way express in electronic or non-electronic format, through visual, auditory, or other means..."
"... shall agree not to speak, write, sign, discuss, elucidate, sing, chant, or in any other way express in electronic or non-electronic format, through visual, auditory, or other means..."
wpieper@Popehat whomst among us?
brandon 🌻@Popehat my "I did not commit fraud" substack has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my substack
Ben Slusky@Popehat That still leaves cantatas wide open
Pat@Popehat there was again a house bill introduced to split the 9th circuit. I'm curious about thoughts if you could? not if it will survive but from an 'academic' standpoint? TIA
Jeff Fecke@Popehat I appreciate him helping out the government by admitting to his crimes often and everywhere.
Charles Taylor@Popehat Do criminal defense attorneys charge their clients extra when they insist on publicly speaking/writing about their criming?
Lynn Grant@ProfCDTaylor @Popehat Kind of like the auto repair shops that charge you more if you insist on helping.
@Popehat you haven't told people to avoid writing elaborate rap musicals about their crimes either...
(every step seems to one up the previous ones so I figure there's nowhere to finish but extravaganza).

My only interpretation is that crime makes you stupid.

naught101@Popehat technically you still haven't
Nick 'The Viking'Positively irresponsible of you Ken hope you've learned your lesson.
klausfiend has moved@Popehat I'm trying valiantly to guess who the person in question is, since the MAGA paste-eaters have made it such a target-rich environment ... but you're also not the type to lawyer for someone like Ali Alexander or Andy Ngo.
Deb S@Popehat stupid like Trump. Just stupid in a different way. Including spelling, words, sentences, paragraphs. . .
The Febrile Muse@Popehat truly malpractice.
Joe Uchill@Popehat On the other hand, 90% of DeviantArt is crimes.
Pharaun@Popehat Try to keep up with the self incrimination meta.
Robert Szasz@Popehat it's probably bad that I think the whole crypto scam thing is way less interesting than the small scale fraud of the "faked her suicide and got donations for final expenses" romance novel lady.
Zoomer Antimillenarian@Popehat One of Trump's lawyers wished on a monkey's paw for him to stop being the world's worst client. And they got their wish.
Raphael@Popehat qualified immunity but for confessions
The Lichtenbergian@Popehat BRB, gotta go delete some stuff...
Brian Merchant@Popehat is that some form of Qualified Asshattery?
