My guess is that they assumed they were smart enough to never get caught also “have you seen how much money were making?!”

People do financial crimes all the time, you have to be very stupid to get caught. I think it was his mom who said in an interview that she literally thought he was incapable of doing the things he was accused of because he’s too sweet and innocent. They’re conveniently naive world-class legal experts. That amazing anecdote from Michael Lewis’ book that his parents bought a German shepherd that was expertly trained to maul someone to death when given a specific command because of all the death threats they were getting but they didn’t tell SBF what the command word was says it all really.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:Why are people in the U.S. ripping up posters asking for information about kidnapped people a continent away? Because it's just propaganda. There is of course no chance anyone who will see the posters has any useful information on where hostages in Gaza might be found, and it's an attempt to deflect from Israel killing thousands of Palestinians in the aftermath, including bombing hospitals, schools, refugee camps and ambulances. They should not be torn down; rather they should be covered with memorial posters for the innocent Palestinians being killed and ethnically cleansed in a US-sponsored genocide.

The NYT podcast The Daily had an episode on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia queued up for October 6 and then had to shelve it in favour of Israel/Palestine coverage. But they didn't let a good opportunity to go to waste. Instead they published it last week as an episode, "Lessons From an Unending Conflict," that, as the title suggests, was intended to offer lessons for the I/P war taken from Nagorno-Karabakh. The hosts go out of their way to emphasize the similarities between the two conflicts, which are actually quite different in several crucial ways, in the course of the episode, most of which is devoted to outlining how Azerbaijan and Armenia got to where they are today. Then we get to the lessons at the end: quote:Sabrina Tavernise: Real classy "lessons" for the Palestinians here from the NYT.

Modern Armenian history is just so depressing. There's big fears of another round of pograms in Nagorno-Karabakh as the Azerbaijanis move in. The Azerbaijani president has essentially said so much. Here's a map showing the area that was supposed to be included in Armenia post-WW1, and modern Armenia:

haveblue posted:Didn't Scotland just commit to building a bunch of windmills despite him? They were going to build a wind farm right on the coast 2003, but the First Minister of Scotland stopped the company's permit to build it after Trump bought the property. He also had the the sand dunes at the golf course declared a "protected habitat" and helped Trump navigate land deals to make the course happen. The assumption was that the course would bring in a lot of money. In 2011, the same company applied to create a windfarm out at sea. It wasn't going to be built on the coastline near Trump's property like the previous plan, but it would be visible from the Trump property. Trump also tried to get that blocked and it was tied up for almost 10 years in legal limbo. But, a new Scottish government fought his lawsuit and eventually won in 2019. They then issued the permit and had the farm built out at sea in early 2020.
