Fuckin finally. So, so tired of every white collar shitbro being afforded every opportunity to keep being a shitstain.
Everyone from fuckin SBF to Donald Fuckin Trump.
Stop glad handing these pricks and treat them like you would any other criminal, worthless fucking "justice" system.
Regular ass people can be beaten and arrested based on cops getting the wrong person, and then when you justifiably "resisted" because you're fucking innocent, it means you'll have "resisting arrest" charges following you the rest of your fucking life.
Yet these pricks can make calls about when they'll turn themselves in.
In the end it doesn't matter much. He will be convicted and this will count as time served
He’s not facing two months. He’s facing 115 years to 155 years according to federal sentencing guidelines. Even if he’s only found guilty of one single count, he will do 20 years minimum.
Certain groups of internet people have been saying he’s going to get away with this the entire time. And everything points to the opposite. And now his bail has been revoked, and the goal post is being moved.
This dude is beyond fucked. It’s time to find someone else to talk about when it comes to the failures and special treatment related the justice department. Using him as an example of said failures really waters down that otherwise valid complaint.
I see your point, but SBF is still a great example of the inequalities of the justice system quite well. Not just because of this incident, but specifically because he is getting the book thrown at him.
SBF is the 2023 version of Ken Lay--he is being made an example because he stole from other rich people.
I wasn't saying he was getting a plea deal. Just that this will count as part of his time.
Ah sorry I misunderstood.
It will count, but his time served won’t be a drop in the bucket. They’re gonna bury this clown.
If he violated terms of bail and committed a crime in doing so, that should result in bail forfeiture. Bail was $250 million.
What about Biden, Hilary, Anthony Fauci, Bill Gates, etc. Why haven't they faced justice yet?
LOL
For what would they face justice?
Mate, if that's a problem in American politics then the Republican party is in trouble
Never was. Do some research next time instead of spreading lies and hate. You're only making yourself look like a fool.
I'm not making up BS when I mentioned those names. If you want me to spill out the crimes they've done, I can. Trump isn't the only one that is corrupt. Corruption runs deep in the USA from all parties.
