looks like our old pal SBF is back in court with some fresh new crimes, also some new info on him not being able to shut up about his crimes



(another source reporting the witness is Caroline Ellison)

The thing is we're seeing this late. I am quite sure the judge knew this was happening when they made him switch phones in the first place and probably said an equivalent of "please stop criming". As I literally said and expected months and months ago and it was explicit that he would be doing this. It's witness tampering and other crimes all the way down.

which is why this happened before it:

which stemmed from:

He's basically been constantly doing this poo poo. It's like if Julian Assange tries to have a meeting with Putin and was shocked poo poo happened from trying to do so

Accounting firm BDO found nothing amiss in controversial FTX Europe deal

--snip--

FTX Trading has filed suit to recover more than $320 million “wrongly paid to the defendants by FTX at the direction of Sam Bankman-Fried to acquire a company, the purported value of which came from a license obtained after the transaction for just over $2 million.” That figure refers to the €2 million that Matzke and Gruhn paid to acquire K-DNA Financial Services Ltd., a licensed Cyprus investment firm.

Besides that license, FTX Trading alleges that Bankman-Fried and his colleagues paid more than $376 million for little more than “a ‘business plan.’”

Part of me thinks the BBBY Reddit is just some weird long form roleplay things. But then they have like a nightly YouTube show or something so it’s all very elaborate.

And then there’s gme_meltdown which is whole dedicated to nitpicking posts made by the first group. There’s gotta be a 3rd one making fun of the meltdown one, right?

That's what's so entertaining about it. Every piece of catastrophically bad news has a fresh cope, a new spin on how it's actually 4D chess and any day now we'll be proven right.

I'm pretty sure a huge part of how cults work is basically breaking down that line between performative and genuine. Perhaps the same could be said of all religions. You have your social events, your rituals, your shared lingo, catchphrases and in-jokes, understanding of the world that inherently revolves around the community and how it and its members have special and unique status beyond the rest of the ignorant world. A cult is basically a religion that hasn't gotten big enough to be lazy yet.

funnily enough, eight hundred pages ago was jan 20 2022, the day before that video came out

so only getting reposted twelve times in thirty-two thousand posts works out to what, not quite four posts in ten thousand? a lot rarer than it feels! every sixty to sixty five pages, on average

Obviously they're still around but they command a fraction of value they used to and companies are abandoning their nft plans almost as quickly as they are devising them.
