lol you'd think they'd be getting fired from their jobs at a loving high-end law school for such an egregious failure of judgement but they're probably just getting a fuckin book deal from the school's publishing house about how hard it was to learn their special perfect savior of a failson is an unrepentant felon

Beeftweeter posted:it could be related to specific acts not covered in this trial. although considering his now-prior conviction i wouldn't be surprised if they drop it just to streamline the case somewhat Right, a lot of them do duplicate. Is it ever worth trying him for them anyway to set some sort of basic precedence? Trial He was found gulty: Convicted of: wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud against FTX customers and against Alameda Research lenders, conspiracy to commit securities fraud and conspiracy to commit commodities fraud against FTX investors, and conspiracy to commit money laundering. New trial: Bribery conspiracy, bank fraud conspiracy, derivatives fraud, securities fraud, and conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmitting business are the charges for the second trial So +Bribery, bank fraud, derivatives, money transmittal, -wirefraud, commodities fraud, money laundering I'm don't know so I'm guessing here : commodities fraud and derivatives fraud are separate?

notwithoutmyanus posted:Right, a lot of them do duplicate. Is it ever worth trying him for them anyway to set some sort of basic precedence? oh absolutely, i didn't realize this trial only dealt with conspiracy charges. basically then this one was to determine FTX as operating a criminal scheme. it only turned into a trial of SBF because all of his other co-conspirators pleaded out since this trial also had the effect of basically casting the blame for FTX's direction squarely on sam, they'll almost certainly charge him with the subsequent violations. while i don't know the details of their plea agreements i'd bet his co-conspirators had made a condition of pleading guilty to conspiracy that they wouldn't be tried for the actual violations — not so for sam but yes, derivatives, commodities and securities fraud are all separate crimes all dealing with similar but distinct concepts. the government is alleging violations of all of them, and most likely can prove them, but i'm not sure they've tried all of those in a crypto context before, which would definitely have value in setting precedent either way (with a conviction or even an unlikely acquittal). wire fraud and unlicensed money transmittance are things i know they've definitely tried and secured convictions for in the crypto space though. so while that might not be strictly necessary it's still a relatively new area of regulation for them and they will probably want to beef up precedent in what constitutes a violation again i'm not an expert in this though, and i definitely don't know the history of the whole volume of crypto-related prosecutions or what the SDNY is thinking internally etc etc. but i hope it answers your questions at least a little

Beeftweeter posted:since this trial also had the effect of basically casting the blame for FTX's direction squarely on sam, they'll almost certainly charge him with the subsequent violations. while i don't know the details of their plea agreements i'd bet his co-conspirators had made a condition of pleading guilty to conspiracy that they wouldn't be tried for the actual violations — not so for sam iirc yeah, the plea deals have a promise of not prosecuting further crimes (i think possibly with the exception of tax crimes?). and that's about it, they plead guilty and the prosecutors will write the sentencing judge a nice note saying that they're very good girls and boys for cooperating, and then they won't go after them for some of the other stuff.

i keep wondering: why are "securities fraud" and "derivatives fraud" two different charges? i'd assume the latter would be folded into the former unless they're talking about his dogshit use of mathematics to justify whatever bullshit he already believes, in which case fair enough

Deep Dish Fuckfest posted:probably. i guess i'm just surprised that there's rules specific to derivatives instead of securities provisions being broad enough to apply to that too This part I do understand, from a crypto perspective. Basically: securities = token sales, etc. Derivatives (and I'm guessing also commodities) = things more likely pertaining to leverage/margin/futures trading related. I just don't know which one for each. In fact I may be wrong on this, but it could be that Margin is the derivatives portion and commodities is the Futures portion, but it could also be that FTX tried to tokenize stock tickers/made their own poo poo they basically called ETF's and Indexes (Shitcoin index, notably) and synthetically trade them. Or it could have been the funding rates (long/short funding rates), but I would doubt it is the dividends from the tokens nor airdrops as that probably falls under securities. notwithoutmyanus fucked around with this message at 19:15 on Nov 3, 2023 |
