My dad is a MIT educated engineer and fell for it. It was the craigslist variety where the prospective buyer "accidentally" overpays with a (stolen) check and asks for a refund of the overpayment (via good check).

He didn't try and cash the check first?

the check will usually be available for withdrawal if you do that, it takes a week or months for a fake check to bounce

I also didn't know what a Paul brother was until relatively recently when one of them started boxing washed up MMA fighters. If I didn't start watching MMA or reading this thread, I still wouldn't know who they were.

I think that the "posted footage of a dead body" Paul spent the entire Japan trip making a giant embarrassing rear end of himself the entire time he was in Japan. Causing an international incident was just the capstone of his fuckery.

They still do.

This is kids literally fighting to buy the limited stock of an energy drink Paul and Ksi (another youtuber) have released.

All I remember of Logan Paul is that he used to make sort of funny vines where he’d be standing somewhere in public and would suddenly do full splits.

This is why most of the civilized world stopped using checks.

But not the US, probably because it's in the constitution that checks must be accepted or some other originalist nonsense.

He's a former kick boxer who became a human trafficker, moved to Romania because it's easier to rape women there, and has become a huge influencer among teenage boys by telling them to treat women like objects

Someone on the Crypto Currency subreddit thinks they caught SBF cashing out one of his Etherium wallets, which means he violated of the terms of his bail just about the moment he got home from prison.

The first time I heard of Logan Paul or maybe Jake Paul (to this day I can’t tell the difference) was when his constant parties were referred to as “a war zone” by neighbors, including lighting swimming pools on fire.

Somehow it’s a lot less cool when your profession is “YouTube personality for children” instead of “rock star”

Does that mean that the DOJ gets to seize his parent's house to satisfy the forfeited bail? :thunk:

They are taking some big leaps there. An ETH wallet that maybe SBF/Alameda controlled 2+ years ago made a recent transaction. The wallet had less than $1000 of ETH.

Then they just handwave away some "follow the trail" stuff to eventually end up at some exchange with a much larger sum.

Is SBF dumb enough to do this? Yes. Is there enough evidence here to convince a judge to revoke bail and start seizing property? Doesnt look like it.
