acidx posted:Holmes was loving with peoples healthcare though, not just their funny internet money. Bankman-Fried is also young and dumb enough that he might be able to get off light. Really depends on what they find in the investigation. I'm sure they're going to dig up quite a bit of slimy behavior by him that will undermine this idea of him being naive. We already know he was misleading investors about the state of FTX's finances. If there's enough lies and enough evidence to show he was a straight up conman, they might end up trying to make an example out of him. Yeah but she didn't get convicted on any of the endangering patients charges, purely financial stuff.

Oy, this is just stupid. https://www.trustnodes.com/2022/12/19/bis-greenlights-banks-to-hold-1-2-in-crypto article posted:Commercial banks across the world can now hold between 1% and 2% of their tier 1 capital in crypto following a decision by the Basel Committee’s oversight body. Not only is this bad and seen as "good for crypto", but imagine how hard they would have to sell if this goes above 1-2% in a bull market? All this will do is make it less and less stable in any concept. Also enables banks to "Whoopsie" overexposure.

Nessus posted:You can lose in the first 3 minutes, but it doesn't actually end the game much earlier to do so. Even better, if you start losing badly usually the enemy team will avoid ending the game so they can just kill you repeatedly for fun and people on your team will avoid surrendering so they can verbally abuse others for longer and to "punish" their teammates. This can turn a 15 minute loss into 40+ minutes. You can, of course, leave the game but funnily enough that is the one thing of the above that is reliably punished by the game developer. Don't play league

I wish him luck getting into a US prison whose doctor won't just laugh at him when he requests his pile of stimulants. Most likely they'll replace them with a SSRI since one of them is prescribed for "depression." Prison doctors don't prescribe a lot of abuse-able stuff, for some strange reason, nor do they have much in the prison pharmacy. I think at best they keep some IM benzos around for seizures and the best they commonly prescribe is Neurontin? He's gonna go through hellacious WD's when his norepinephrine and dopamine drop like rocks. Prison is a great place to develop long lasting severe depression and fatigue etc.

There's no way he was sticking to the low "prescribed" doses he claims to be on. Even if they do give him his drugs in jail/prison the doses will be REALLY low compared to what he's most likely used to.

Yeah possible he thinks he might find a way to bribe/lawyer his way out, possible he's just sort of deer in the headlighting. I mean the bribery thing might even of worked if he wasn't making international headlines.

If you spent years of your life working around the clock to precision-design a video game to maximise toxicity and turn players into raging psychopaths, you would come out the other side with something maybe half as effective as League of Legends

It really speaks to how much I'd a dumbfuck he is if there isn't like a bill stashed away for bribing his way out of jail and off to some non-extradition country. Just mindlessly spunking billions of dollars away.

My sister lived for years in Nassau (not the jail), and from everything she said, the conditions are probably relative to the amount of cash slipped to the staff. Poor Bahamian busted for theft? poo poo hole jail. Foreigner with tons of money? Much nicer, I'm sure. Still not Atlantis or the Grand Bahama, though.
