Not looking particularly likely for SBF getting any sort of lighter sentence when the judge just out and out told him he committed perjury during the sentencing hearing 10 minutes ago or so. Witness tampering too. I hear courts hate it.

Which by the way is half what the prosecution asked for and a quarter of what the sentencing guidelines recommend per NPR.

well he's the literal worst and he lied more than i ever done saw as a judge. but i am seeing no indication of being lower class and/or not white, so the sentencing is at one fourth of full power. DISMISSED

Yeah, I don't like that the rich, white business crime fraud manchild got a lighter sentence, but his lighter sentence is in line with my tummyfeels on what a max incarceration should ever really be. It's a very complex reaction.

Yeah same honestly. It’s hard to see people getting way worse sentences for what amounts to petty theft while this guy gets 25, but the problem is really on the other side of that, not the crypto bro side.

It just don't stop.



There's no way the sentencing guidelines actually recommend 110 years, because the federal sentencing guidelines only go up to like 30 years and then life. (And as far as I know, the only federal crime you get life for is murder.)

There were several counts of fraud and whatnot, but federal sentencing guidelines also say that you basically just take the greatest sentence of all the counts and that's the sentence. (You essentially serve your time concurrently.)

On the plus(?) side, federal time doesn't have parole, so 25 years means 25 years.

My cynicism almost goes the other way, it feels like they're nailing him for loving with rich people's money when there's countless other corps getting away with all sorts of financial fuckery.

or the fact we're still waiting for Trump to see an ounce of consequence for his countless crimes and legal fuckery.

I think I understand where you're coming from.

It's a reasonable sentence for the crime that was committed, but it sucks that only rich white people get reasonable sentences while poor people of color can go to jail forever for doing things that aren't nearly as bad (or for things that are entirely harmless). Basically, this is a time where a rich white person got treated in a way that should be standard for everyone.

Not only did Kaplan not do that, the Judges (actually Justices because New York has the country’s most confusing court system) who did it are not even part of the same court system as Kaplan.

Bullshit. Require a tug escort under all major bridge transits. It’s a reasonable mitigation for a long tail high consequence risk.

how many years would they have to run those tug escorts to equal the cost of the bridge collapse event. like a hundred, two hundred

Quick lunchtime math from numbers I could find: seems like the tugs cost maybe $5000 average and there are around 300-600 big cargo ship movements in that port in a year (hard to exactly tell what numbers are for what vessel types). The cost estimate for replacement is like $400M so it'd take like 100,000 of those tug fees to reach that cost. So yeah it seems like somewhere on the order of 300 years to reach the same cost. Bar Ran Dun might have a better idea than my quick look though.

Far longer. They already have to pay the tugs. This would just be the tugs going slightly farther.

Basically the added cost is just paying for the finish
