If he wanted to run, the time to do it was about four weeks ago. It's more probable he'll find some way to give part 34 of his confession to a Bloomberg reporter in the meantime.

I hope that a year or so in a Bahamas mansion in a drug-fueled sex party was worth it.

The crimes weren't required for that, his parents have a $250 million house, rich kids like that don't have any problem getting mom and dad to pay for a gap year abroad to figure yourself out.

I bet you can rent a pretty nice place for you and your closest fuckbuddies for not too much in the grand scheme of things coming from a family of affluent Bay Area professionals

his parents don't have a $250m house

the $250m seems entirely fictional, and is secured "in part" by the house, but he's not actually required to put up the rest. basically if he takes a runner his parents lose the house and that's it

When your interviewer is going through a checklist of the elements of fraud, you absolutely wait for it to finish.

I feel like this is one of the big benefits of hiring lawyers, if you want to get your side of the story out to the press, they can draft some kind of statement and help you avoid getting walked down the path of proving the prosecutor's case point-by-point in an interview.

But on the other hand, if you're always the smartest person in any room, how could anyone possibly advise you how to do anything better than you're already doing it?

the absolute first thing I’d do if I was a billion dollar fraudster and/or con artist jewel theif etc is bury like, several heavy duty ziplocked baggies of several million dollars in multiple backyards to go dig up some day, along with a false identity and an escape plan involving fake mustaches and money laundering business ideas so I could go vanish someplace where it doesn’t snow

I've known more than one "knows he's smartest kid in the room" type who got into more trouble than they should have because they were just SURE that if they explained themselves well enough to the cops they'd be back at the dorm in no time flat. Usually minor pot poo poo or drunk driving.

This is that, but on a massive scale. He's the dumb gently caress, straight-A's, suburban white kid with professionals for parents, college sophomore who's just gotten pulled over with an ounce of weed in the trunk and is loving certain that he can explain this all away to the nice officer.

The thing is, usually they're inadvertently right. I've got an in-law who was in the exact situation above (oz of weed in college for his frat house) who, once the arrest happened and his parents got involved, managed to get a potential trafficking charge downgraded to a bunch of community service because "he's a good boy / his future / this was just personal use we'll put in him rehab / etc." Difference here being that upper middle class educated parents and the kind of lawyers they can buy will get a white frat boy out of a pot charge, but Bankman got out far enough ahead of his skis and hosed around with other rich people's money enough that his university prof parents can do precisely gently caress all.

Which is goddamned hilarious.

Yeah this is why he was like "lawyers are loving stupid" because his entire life I bet he learned that:
1) you don't need protection from the police at all, and
2) lawyers are stupid middlemen who don't understand that if someone just apologizes and make a stupid face they'll let you go

the best part is this guy didn’t have any kind of plan, or goal

people handed this guy billions of dollars and he kinda sorta handed it randomly to his part time girlfriend illegally, without any purpose

Every lawyer I know loved watching SBF do all the wrong things because it validates all the things we learned about in law school. Never talk to the police, keep your loving head down, and most importantly never apologize lol

The crimes server named "crimes I commit" was even dumber than actually committing the crimes.
