Well he got himself a much longer sentence by taking the stand (I'm sure against his own lawyers' advice) and being incredibly smug and evasive and remorseless. The judge specifically cited SBF's attitude in giving him 25 years instead of the 6 his lawyers requested. He said SBF showed no indication that he was sorry for what he had done or even accepted that it was wrong, and the longer sentence was necessary to keep him out of society and unable try his hand at finance again for the most productive years of his life. So no, I would not say he was a genious [sic]

Imagine spending a few years as a billionaire, flying to the Super Bowl hanging out with celebrities and living in the Bahamas on a 24/7 crime spree and the only consequence for getting caught is 6 years (out in 3) minimum security prison and the only thing you have to do to make that happen is apologize and say you’re only a smol boy

i think he is just a sociopath. the anecdotes about his personal behavior bear it out. if he didn't get caught now stealing billions, he'd probably end up hunting people for sport. i also think he is a really stupid sociopath. like for instance when he leaked his girlfriend's personal diaries to the press. he probably saw that as a good move. shift and distribute the blame, right? but he has no emotional capacity, so he didn't realize that normal people would see that as an exceptionally cruel move and be more sympathetic to her instead. whoops! or maybe it isn't stupidity. i mean clearly he was smart enough for stanford  . maybe because he was so smart all of his social idiocy was excused as eccentricity, so he never had to practice faking humanity. never developed the charismatic mask that other sociopaths do. never learned social rules like "revealing your girlfriend's secrets will make people dislike you." if he had been dumber, maybe people would have called him out sooner and he would have developed better survival skills.hans reiser is probably the same. sociopathic, but also too much of a goon to learn how to manipulate people properly. he also took the stand thinking he had it all figured out, and also hugely hosed himself over. here is a good article about child sociopaths. (though that term is stigmatized so now they say the kids have "antisocial personality disorder with callous and unemotional traits"). https://12ft.io/https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2017/06/when-your-child-is-a-psychopath/524502/ Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 20:07 on Mar 29, 2024 |

Like this is from that article. Does this sound a bit like the kind of psychology that would lead to someone committing huge crimes to make billions of dollars and meet celebrities?quote:The center’s real breakthrough involves deploying the anomalies of the psychopathic brain to one’s advantage—specifically, downplaying punishment and dangling rewards. These boys have been expelled from school, placed in group homes, arrested, and jailed. If punishment were going to rein them in, it would have by now. But their brains do respond, enthusiastically, to rewards. At Mendota, the boys can accumulate points to join ever more prestigious “clubs” (Club 19, Club 23, the VIP Club). As they ascend in status, they earn privileges and treats—candy bars, baseball cards, pizza on Saturdays, the chance to play Xbox or stay up late. Hitting someone, throwing urine, or cussing out the staff costs a boy points—but not for long, since callous and unemotional kids aren’t generally deterred by punishment.

sbf was smarter than enough other people to recognize that he was smarter than some people, but yet stupid enough to think he was smart enough to out scam the most successful scamming class of people on the planet who run the world economy and justice systems.
