@arstechnica Ah, the "find out" stage of things...

@arstechnica

More proof that justice only ever seems to be dealt out correctly when it's the rich who are the victims.

@GuyDudeman @arstechnica since it’s crypto I’m guessing most rich people, or at least any educated ones, stayed away from this.

@arstechnica People don't get away with scamming rich people.
@arstechnica OOC: It feels irresponsible to suggest that 110 years is a reasonably possible sentence. There is literally zero chance that he will receive that much time based on the fact that (1) his crimes stem from the same course of conduct and (2) he ticks basically none of the aggravating factors under the federal sentencing guidelines. When SBF inevitably gets sentenced to less (and probably a lot less) time, it makes it look like the justice system failed the public. But the justice system didn't fail us; it got a conviction on all counts.
@arstechnica hahahahahahahaHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAhahahahahahaha
@arstechnica
But that hair……amazing.
@arstechnica the only thing left to do is actually sentence him to 110 yrs.
@arstechnica I'm sure Sam's fellow inmates will pay rapt attention to his lectures on effective autruism.
@arstechnica could you not just sum up the statutory maximums and call it journalism? Sentencing rarely works like that, if ever.
@arstechnica Honesty thought this was Gabe Kaplan from “Welcome Back, Kotter”.
@arstechnica he even cut his hair and cleaned up for this.
