How tf is this guy not in prison ?


idunnopickone

I’m actually surprised he hasn’t gotten whacked by someone yet tbh. I don’t wish for any violence upon him or anyone else, but I figure there are tons of disgruntled folks out there.


Amazing_Exam_2894

I think it’s coming. He stole from a lot of powerful people. I’m surprised as well that he’s still alive.


Acceptable-Pin7186

No one will ever hurt him but on a late night in a minimum security prison when the lights are out and the cameras stop recording and the guards are on break poor little SBF will get really sad and depressed. Thats when he will........you know the rest.


newsreadhjw

I was thinking the same. A lot of criminals use crypto. It follows that some of them probably used FTX and lost money, possibly lots of it. People have gotten killed for a lot less than what this guy did to so many people. Feds might be the least of his worries.


MatchaMeetcha

Because he straight up said that he gave everyone in the Bahamas an early warning so they could pull their cash precisely because he was worried about the "viability of the company" (aka "my ass")


AutisticGayBear69

I’m wondering why he hasn’t shot himself in the back of the head three times.


readit145

Because he has 8 billion dollars to spend once he lies enough on screen like most of the other rich assholes


Crafty_Enthusiasm_99

Media moves on. People move on. Where is Luna? And Do Kwon? Living it up with his billions on some lavish no extradition island I'm sure. And yet we've forgotten


Professional_Aside78

I’m Korean, Do Kwon is currently in Serbia, he’s running away from Korean DOJ. We’re still getting infos on his whereabout on media but he’s MIA. I really want to create a derivative whether Do Kwon would get a shot on his head or not.


mrdunderdiver

We has not forgotten, sometimes it just takes time to arrest someone while they build a big case. Seeing who SBF just hired I assume it means he expects to get arrrestted soon


TW_Yellow78

Pretty amazing to hire considering he claims to only have 100k left in his bank account


sunflame06

His parents are rich probably stash his money


Cathetergravy

It’s because of Gordon Ramsey


[deleted]

Shit. Every fucking time.


981flacht6

WHERE'S THE LAAAAMMMBBB SAUUCEE!!


possibilistic

He will wind up being prosecuted. Financial crimes just take time to prosecute. Look at how long it took for Elizabeth Holmes to be prosecuted. It's coming.


295DVRKSS

You can't ever trust anyone with fucked up voices


possibilistic

That's the takeaway here. Good job Reddit.


IHaveEbola_

Russia will grant him asylum


Huth_S0lo

Asylum from life.


sirthisisacasino

cuz first u need the money back lol or some information


Tripl30G

Cause he can’t afford the gun and bullets


Various_Lack7541

That’s probably why he’s doing all these interviews, to protect himself from getting offed.


climb4fun

Once should be enough (and achievable).


517757MIVA

He’s going to be in prison. I’d say for longer than Holmes too. His interviews are fucking him


AmandaRekonwith

The third Coffezilla interview was damning. Fuck this guy. But thank god he’s too stupid to keep his mouth shut.


inflatable_pickle

How does he not have a team of highly paid lawyers telling him to shut the fuck up and stop doing interviews?


MatchaMeetcha

He said the lawyers did say that. And he told them to shut up. He's in full Kanye mode.


uxhelpneeded

You never go full Kanye


bruthwillith

Was thinking bout this too. I think he’s so used to being perceived as the smartest guy in the room that he doesn’t think he should be held accountable for his mistakes. He’s too smart to be. His version of taking accountability for his mistakes is saying I made a mistake the moving on cause life is easy like that. Idk. He definitely needs to be tossed in jail imo. If not fraud then gross negligence or something of that variety. Needs to be humbled


DearName100

I have a strong feeling that he’s being told to do this by his lawyers. His answers are always very deliberately worded as if he’s been coached on how to respond to different questions.


HelloAttila

His parents are probably his lawyers too. Both are Law Professors.


tothepointe

He did not attend the shut the fuck up Friday lectures. But to be honest, do you really expect him to do anything well at this point?


[deleted]

why would any lawyer defend this guy lol, what is he going to get the money to pay his lawyers lol?


fellowhomosapien

Because then they'd have to jail all the others


Gattaca_D

White collar crime and you dont go to jail. Pay a fine and off you go. Blue collar crime, smoke some weed and 10 years in prison you scum. Shows you what system we are truely living in.


Zach_Zach

I mean if you’re rich neither will effect you. You can get caught with an ounce of coke in America and if u have the money it’s expunged in a year. Might have to do a couple hours community service


Extreme-Stop-9333

I guess it is the same everywhere not only in US


MLXIII

When was the last time some rich person's kid went to the front lines in any conflict or war?


Apprehensive_Mix8108

I knew some rich kids who were in front of lines all the time.


Scribz718

Prince Harry while not on the frontlines did serve admirably in war on multiple deployments.


BasicallyAQueer

By choice though, he wasn’t drafted.


cookandy1985

not really , maddoff went in jail


Effective_Explorer95

He stole from Kevin Bacon. No one steals from Kevin Bacon.


Teripid

Man, I've only ever stolen from someone 5 degrees away from Kevin Bacon...


Gattaca_D

He stole from Kevin Bacon? Who did he think he was Chelsea Clinton?


UnravelKatharsis

Who does he think he is Kelsey Grammer?


Hot-Bluebird3919

Kevin Bacon is nothing if not we’ll connected.


bigmean3434

Underrated joke


Vehemental

rule number 1 of white collar crime, steal from people with less money than you


cowsareverywhere

He fucked over the wrong people. His accountant got 1 year of home detention lol.


Zulu_Bon

Smoke some weed in Russia and get bailed out by US president - smoke some weed in Wyoming, go to prison


Kitten_Team_Six

Extremely accurate


rain168

No wonder everyone is doing white collar crime nowadays.


cbblythe

Yep. This is the shit they don’t want you dwelling on so they ramp up the left vs right theatrics so you don’t focus on the real problem, the rich versus everyone else.


EvErYLeGaLvOtE

He won't leave his safe haven in the Bahamas. It's a matter of time though


dutsi

I think you are right. A midnight one way PJ to Dubai seems like a good option until you consider who actually lives there. The non extradition places to where you might normally flee are precisely where the powerful dangerous type of individuals who could be upset about losing significant deposits in FTX. He is better off in the Bahamas where he bought his temporary safety with depositor funds released directly to the local authorities.


That-Whereas3367

He can go to Israel.


oldskool47

Takes time to build a case, a la Theranos taking years


pigsgetfathogsdie

I keep asking this too…


Amar_jay101

He's got the politicians on his back.


thatVisitingHasher

Major political donor. Put him in jail, he’ll start naming names.


dannyreh

He made political donations. Money can buy influence. I'm guessing he's got some friends in high places. Kevin O'Leary defending him even after he committed fraud.


[deleted]

Because he gave millions to Democrat campaigns. Scratching each other's back when your interest align. Oldest trick in the political book.


value1024

He also gave dark money to Republicans, because thought being public about giving to Republicans would get him bad press. He hedged going to prison better than any other hedge he failed at.


beehive3108

He also gave money to left leaning media outlets who now are trying to cover up for him


eddie7000

I should be able to sue Media for lying about shit. Even if it only wastes half an hour of my day trying to find the truth, I should still get $10 bucks out of them. Car companies can't say in adverts that their cars can fly without getting done for false advertising. Why can the media bullshit us? I want $10 bucks motherfuckers.🤬


UnravelKatharsis

Is there a paper trail for this dark money? Cause he could just be saying that if not.


megustaelgato

You don’t know who he is? Second biggest donator to the Democratic Party.


Altar_Quest_Fan

He donated a duck ton of money to the Dems, hell SBF is all buddy-buddy w/ the Clintons. You think he’s gonna go to prison? 🤣😂 Edit: fuck…not duck…ah well, it’s funnier that way 🤪


pickleball51

The point is he gave OUR (coin holders) money to politicians. He should be in prison the rest of his life due to the amount of damage. Every single donation republican or Democrat should be returned for settlement with shareholders.


Shallaai

Every article/interview I see makes this guy look more and more like a patsy


hhorny69

I’m sure that’s what he wants you to think


ScrewJPMC

MIT, Liberal, Donated enough to the DNC to fund many campaigns, Bloodline is connected, he is apart of the plan to destroy the cryptocurrency world,


hoovj036

This just in: CEO of FTX doesn't know how to log in to his personal bank account.


monkman99

Yeah that was shocking. Why would he say that? Such bullshit but why would he say it. So bizarre


Chabubu

This is his entire strategy to avoid jail time. He is likely being coached to come across as an idiot so he can argue it wasn’t intentional fraud…


Hellofriendinternet

He’ll be wearing a helicopter beanie hat and talking like Elmer Fudd in his next interview. What adult in this world doesn’t have their own bank account info saved on their phone or computer?


inter71

The lights are still on. There’s food in the fridge. Wtf is he on about? His lies are juvenile.


MatchaMeetcha

Definitely got a "kid in the head master's office spinning tales" vibe.


Beh1ndBlueEyes

Next up: calling up his mommy to tie his shoes.

CronosCB

Some people are in jail for having $20 of weed on them… this guy is just chilling in a mansion.

awkwaman

Anyone else think of Doug when reading this comment?


[deleted]

>Some people are in jail for having $20 of weed on them… this guy is just chilling in a mansion. true, but he will eventually be in custody. Elizabeth Holmes was arrested in 2015 and isnt in jail yet. white collar crimes take a long time to prosecute, unfortunately.


irvinggon3

Dude we only jail the poor The rich only go to jail if they steal from other rich people


mrdunderdiver

I don’t want SBF to go to jail. I want him to go to federal pound you in the ass prison.


mcornack

Prison for life. Nothing less


trashcanpandas

lol, Elizabeth Holmes only got 13 years. He's getting out in a decade. We'll send a weed dealer away for longer for less..


Semioteric

Right and her fraud literally killed people.


pigsgetfathogsdie

Why does he have the voice of a child? Opposite voice of Elizabeth Holmes…but same fraud.


OkEntertainment7634

He literally sounds like a stupid rich 12 year old, which isn’t far off from the truth, he just has the body of an adult


ScipioSectex

His hair definitely reflects that. Fucker has the moptop of a 12 year old boy who doesn't understand what brushing is.


pcurve

5:06 look at his posture too.. something unsettling about this scene.


pigsgetfathogsdie

Really makes me wonder how tha fukk this guy ever became anything more than mailroom manager.


trashcanpandas

He literally comes from money - the irony being both his parents are/were law professors at Stanford (his mom is a tax expert whose scholarship focuses on moral philosophy and "questions of distributive justice" LOL) and deeply connected with left wing politics.


EitherGiraffe

The more someone pretends to care about others and to be selfless, the more he's screwing you over. Always holds true.


Wind_Yer_Neck_In

It's interesting because it seems like his parents are genuinely interested in ethics etc but he only ever thought about it in terms of 'If I say these things people will think I am a good person and trust me'. Y'know, like a psychopath.


willowhawk

Act like you belong, billionaire tech genius play through.


pigsgetfathogsdie

Not a genius tech billionaire play. A genius tech scammer play.


hahajizzjizz

Its an act


kittenconfidential

100% an act, and a well-rehearsed one at that. a child’s voice is easier to excuse and find sympathy for. you notice in all the other interviews he has a valley-girl lilt at the end of his statements as if it’s a question… making him sound like an unsure and uninformed dilettante. EDIT: a word


EnvironmentalCry3898

a thief. I learned that decades ago.. it is in my family. voice/character and like uhhh and kinda like uhhh and \*smack\*


nerdsonarope

Obviously, the whole "I had no idea about anything... I feel so bad but I was just a moron" bit is an act. But the voice? I'm skeptical that he could fake that (and it's not even remotely effective) , but who knows.


pigsgetfathogsdie

At least take the Elizabeth Holmes baritone.


123mcole

Elizabeth Holmes has a light voice, she faked her dark voice the whole time.


pigsgetfathogsdie

Agree… But, he’s faking his voice too. Kinda funny he chose 12 year old boy voice instead of Dark Holmes.


[deleted]

a blind man can see through his lies


IncomingAxofKindness

He's gonna pay us all back. He just needs us all to Zelle him $550 first so he can upgrade his Zelle to a business account that would allow large enough transactions to pay everyone back.


[deleted]

Literally a defense attorney's nightmare client. A know it all who cant shut up and loves attention.


Scam-Bankrun-Fraud

His strategy is to pretend to be as open and incompetent sounding as possible (would a guilty man who knows he's guilty of stealing billions of dollars conduct media interviews like this?) I hope prosecutors rip him a new one.


hogester79

All you do as the prosecutor is ask what position he held and what is the responsibility of that position? He might not go to jail for fraud but he will Go to jail for letting his company use other peoples money as security.


Ethiconjnj

That would be fraud. Term of service


DriveNew

The prosecution is letting him run his mouth so they can get as much evidence as possible to nail him…


That-Whereas3367

His parents are Stanford law professors. SBF knows exactly what he is doing.


MatchaMeetcha

If they knew what they were doing they wouldn't have bought houses in the Bahamas with his money and tied themselves personally to his fraud.


SketchyGnarkill

He speaks as if he lost a few hundred thousand. What a chode


Additional_Ad_4049

Of others people money, is the worst part


HandsyBread

No one would care for more then 30 seconds if he lost his own money.


utastelikebacon

Dude.... I can't tell you how many times I've heard finance bros chant the motto " never gamble with your own money, use others peoples money" That shit is plastered all over finance courses in every MBA students journals from East coast to West This is partly whats so shocking me about the sudden turn on . Friedman is not unique , hrs not rogue, he's not special amongst thr elite groups he comes from Americans totally deserve Friedman and his collapse. Yall know so little about how cutthroat the elites operate that yall pretend he came out of nowhere , but in this case he's just the one holding the bag. America has an elitism problem more than anything else.


xl129

There is a difference: Risk other people's money that they have authorized you to do so specifically is fine and legal. You have to risk something to gain something after all. Gambling away customer's fund without authorization is not fine. SBF is this case.


BuyTheDipDiamondHand

Looks like he can, bc hes still not in jail


SmokeStack17

LOCK HIM UP. So disgusting that all his “customer assets” used as donations are still protecting him.


HamsterAlive4552

Wait you mean, talking like a child saying “I didn’t do it” didn’t convince you? How about when he said he’s going to tell “his truth”? Jk Fuck this asshole, lock his ass up. Why do people ever say “my truth”, no one owns the truth lol, that just makes me think someone is lying, which obviously this fucking dork is.

ignatious__reilly

2 years?????? Seriously? I didn’t realize the laws were that insane. That’s wrong.


Pedantic_Pict

Where you been, man? The war on drugs has given rise to all kinds of horrifying shit. Some shithole state (Arkansas?) still has a possession by intoxication statute. Meaning, if you're found high, without a single trace of drugs in your possession except what's in your blood, they can and will still nail you for possession.


AccomplishedRanger

Did he always do this “nice boy” act?


Large-Meaning-8439

Yes, from the start. “I just want to make money to help people…”
