there are approximately one hundred thousand miles between a jury trial of a powerful white billionaire and the historical extrajudicial murders by a powerful racial majority against Black Americans

this (in Puck, paywalled https://puck.news/michael-lewis-has-more-thoughts-on-s-b-f/) is at least the second time he's drawn the comparison (see also his interview in Time https://time.com/6321668/michael-lewis-sam-bankman-fried-going-infinite/)

i was at the trial too, and there was levity, but i had SEVERAL conversations with journalists there about the gravity and challenging emotions of watching someone barreling headfirst towards spending a substantial portion of the rest of his life in prison

@molly0xfff Whether it was covered with levity or seriousness, it was all self inflicted by SBF. From the initial crime, through the pre-trial media tour, to the witness stand, he brought it all on himself. The polar opposite of a lynching.
