Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

His narrative is hilarious. Not me, everybody else

I believe that there is probably a huge list of others who should be in there with him and that its entirely possible that he was made an example of more than might have been legally necessary.

Theres been a lot of dodgy shit, outright fraud and scams attached to crypto that its not outside the realms of possibility that they wanted him nailed to the wall to send a message.

Again then. Sometimes it's important not to talk about others and spend some time self reflecting. He's not there yet. For me, the power of denial is overrated.

I don't see it, but okay.

If the article was about him starting a cigarettes exchange scam inside prison, well, we'd be talking!

That’s coming after he gets through the denial phase and into the acceptance phase haha
