i remember people saying "how is he not arrested if he's saying poo poo like that" and the response being "this will show up in the trial" and what do you know?

also lol at sam's lawyer trying to not get it admitted as evidence because "These are prejudicial. He thought the person was a friend." 1. Journalists are never your friend. 2. i guess you gotta try.

not terribly surprised they don't have a korean translation lol

i'd put the over/under at uhh 0/0 though. north koreans are all about juche, joseon dynasty nostalgia is very much a south korean thing

DarkSol posted:

north korea calls itself "chosen". chosen soren is a front for koreans in japan to funnel money to noko. they call their idea of a "unified korea" "chosen".

while you're right that the Kims don't give a gently caress about chosen dynasty nostalgia, the concept of "chosen" is in their collective minds.

i was just poking around that site since i was showing it to my wife (she is a big fan of the real joseon) and lol i didn't see their "ministers" before: https://www.joseon.com/l/en-US/government/ministries-of-chosen

yeah that's true. i was just saying that most people the north probably wouldn't view the dynasty in the same (mostly positive) light as most people in the south would since their country is basically supposed to be a revolutionary answer to it

CNBC dropped a story on the arrest of the guy who stole 50k Bitcoin from silk road. It's a wild ride and worth a read: https://www.cnbc.com/2023/10/17/crypto911.html

quote:

Zhong’s attorney, Michael Bachner, says the theft never actually damaged the U.S. government.

“The government has certainly not been hurt by Jimmy’s conduct whatsoever,” Bachner told CNBC. “If Jimmy had not stolen the coins and the government had in fact seized them from [Silk Road operator Ross Ulbricht] they would have sold them two years later in 2014 as they did with other coins.”

At that point, the government “would have gotten $320 a coin or made somewhere about $14 million,” Bachner said. “Now, as a result of Jimmy having them, the government has gotten a $3 billion profit.”

ironically the guy who stole 150 bitcoins from jimmy didn't harm the government either but jimmy still called the cops on him

Absolutely the best thing introduced as evidence at a crypto trial since Mycrimes.txt

I hate how

I hate that I know the real filename was something innocuous like logfile.txt or whatever. This is a case study of appropriate times to rewrite history.

his lawyer is going to be alternating between holding up a giant placard that just says "FIFTH" and burying his head in his hands

turning a big dial taht says "crimes" on it and constantly looking back at the jury for approval like a contestant on the price is right

they genuinely think that crime isn't real

I doubt there will be a groundswell of support any time soon for the view that others may not, after all, be to blame for the mess they (and we) are in. But the fact that we have gotten so little in return for our blame mongering at least opens up the possibility that people would be receptive to a new approach. The next time something goes terribly wrong, suppose that instead of immediately asking who is to blame, we were to ask: How can we fix this problem?

this is not a joke btw

The philosophy of personal responsibility has ruined criminal justice and economic policy. It’s time to move past blame.

i think that even before that, the baseline of "everyone knows that there's systemic reasons for underserved communities to have judicial punishment applied to them unfairly so there's absolutely no ethical or moral difference between that and white collar crime from people who have never known a moment of hardship in their lives" is just incredible (ly abhorrent)
