CZM Rewind: How Sam Bankman-Fried Conned the Crypto World & The Sam Bankman-Fried Update

The judge has ordered that he be given that medication.

Obviously I'm always in favor of people who are incarcerated, having access to medication.

Um,

Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: How Sam Bankman-Fried Conned the Crypto World & The Sam Bankman-Fried Update

If anyone's interested, I don't actually think putting Sam in jail is going to do much good.

I'm a little bit more mixed on this than I normally am, just because of the case of Adam Newman, the WeWork guy who got off scot-free from his giant financial crimes and is now starting another giant grift company and will probably fuck with a bunch of other people's lives.

But I do kind of think it's unlikely that we're going to get much benefit out of this.

Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: How Sam Bankman-Fried Conned the Crypto World & The Sam Bankman-Fried Update

That said, I don't really feel for Sam.

Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: How Sam Bankman-Fried Conned the Crypto World & The Sam Bankman-Fried Update

He had many, many chances not to be in this situation, and he fucked all of them up.

Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: How Sam Bankman-Fried Conned the Crypto World & The Sam Bankman-Fried Update

So, you know, fuck the guy.

Sam's lawyers have argued he was not attempting to discredit a witness, but just to respond to a toxic media environment, which he says unfairly portrays him as a villain.

And I guess we're part of that toxic media environment.

Although, Sam, free tip here.

Handing your ex-girlfriend's diary to the New York Times is a bad way to seem like not the villain.

Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: How Sam Bankman-Fried Conned the Crypto World & The Sam Bankman-Fried Update

That's kind of villain behavior, homie.

Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: How Sam Bankman-Fried Conned the Crypto World & The Sam Bankman-Fried Update

That's... Hate to tell you.

Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: How Sam Bankman-Fried Conned the Crypto World & The Sam Bankman-Fried Update

So humorously enough, that is the legal argument his lawyers are making.

Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: How Sam Bankman-Fried Conned the Crypto World & The Sam Bankman-Fried Update

And they they kind of have a point because they're like, look, if you read the New York Times article based on her diary, he seems like a piece of shit.

Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: How Sam Bankman-Fried Conned the Crypto World & The Sam Bankman-Fried Update

So clearly we weren't trying to influence the prosecution.

Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: How Sam Bankman-Fried Conned the Crypto World & The Sam Bankman-Fried Update

And like they do have a point because he does come across as the bad guy in that article that he made happen.

Behind the Bastards
CZM Rewind: How Sam Bankman-Fried Conned the Crypto World & The Sam Bankman-Fried Update

So that's funny.
