It’s weird how the media insists on describing a 30 year old man who committed defrauded folks of millions of dollars like he’s a teenager. Like this was just a group of teenagers who didn’t really understand what they were doing until things got out of hand.
I'm actually ok with this character assassination. He's clearly not a person who ever really grew or matured.
I wonder how long he's been on Adderall/diagnosis date? This is the methiest situation I've ever heard and yes, I know, meth != mixed amphetamine salts (amphetamine/dextroamphetamine), but I challenge the disagreeer to fight me cuz I'm winning that fight every single time.
Also, I'm not really touching on the culpabillity part with respect to the "methy" nature of the situation other than to say literally nobody else who's not white and rich and so well-pedigreed/messy-haired would receive this treatment, except maybe Trump. SBF should have been in jail immediately, he's not innocent or inept, he's entitled and well-resourced and internet/computer "savvy" and doesn't give a fuck about anybody else.
Convicted man (not boy child) walkin'
I didn't go there, I just assumed endless entitlement and never having to face consequences.
Thats arguably even far more "intoxicating" but I def don't agree it deserves the "Affluenza Defense", hell, I don't even think the "Affluenza Defense" deserves the "Affluenza Defense"
That was class warfare. The judge was looking out for his own kind. Same with the Stanford rape case a few years back.
I just don't get how it survives appeal if there's even appeal at all
