Sam Bankman-Fried arrested

Sam Bankman-Fried, the disgraced co-founder of digital-asset exchange FTX, was arrested in the Bahamas after the US government filed a criminal indictment, following weeks of speculation that client funds were misused before his empire’s collapse.

Bankman-Fried is being held in custody pending an extradition process, the island nation’s attorney general, Ryan Pinder, said in a statement Monday.

Chiefs don't go to prison.

And Noice.. arrest SBF. But he bought politicians so he will probably be in a 5 star resort for jail...

US federal prisons are not nice places, no matter how rich you are or how many connections you have. They don't give 2 craps.

If you listen to his interviews post- bankruptcy, you already know his defence strategy: 'I was ignorant /not aware' etc. Hopefully this is seen as the transparent lie that it is.

Also saw a video that pointed out that in some of his (SBF) media content there were nootropic / performance enhancer med containers on his desk. Possibly him laying the ground for a future 'the drugs confused me' defence.

Edit: Oh yeah was a More Plates thing...

About time.

I wonder why he thought hiding there, would help. Lots of other places to hide where an extradition treaty is not in place with the US.

Bahamas is quite popular place for these people

 

[The Darkness]

This little twerp is the poster-child for the millennial generation. My bet is he'll be suicided for sure, especially since his ratty little girlfriend has been cooperating with the FBI already.The court case will be an excruciating affair with endless "uuuuuuh.....like.....you know....uuuuuuh.....like......you know.......so......like....uuuuuuh......you nkow.....um....aaaah"

He lives there and ran the business from there with his cohorts.
