    And those same friends of Bankman-Fraud are screwing him back on the flip in court.

    This guy was Trump levels of dumb with his crimes and didn’t even have the army of sycophants and mob lawyers for him to throw under the bus. Plus: he stole money from rich people— the worst of crimes!

      When it affects average people, the wheels of justice are slow. When it affects the wealthy, suddenly there is attention. This is pretty much what happened with Bernie Madoff. He was running his scheme for years and nobody blinked until some billionaires lost money.

        Yup. Elizabeth Holmes and Sunny Balwani, same thing. If they’d only endangered patients, they’d have gotten away with it.
