Just a hunch here but... SBF was probably finally arrested because he couldn't keep his big mouth shut and was probably going to implicate people they would rather keep out of the limelight. He is/was a marionette.

 

Samuel Bankman-Fried did not kill hisself.

 

Wasn't he supposed to testify before Congress tomorrow? Convenient timing.

He acquiesced to their request, yes, but only to a video call. He knew that if he set foot on US soil, there was a good chance of being arrested. Hence, the SDNY move.

Yeah, I don’t think that was why. I was very surprised Mad Max subpoenaed him. I bet the rest of the DNC was shocked, too.

When $250mm is not $250mm... :coffee:

 

Bankman-Fried's Incredible Shrinking ‘$250 Million Bond’

Quote

... In the typical federal case, a bail bondsman would charge between 10%-15% of the amount in cash to issue a surety bond or “bail bond.” In the case of Bankman-Fried’s astronomical bond, 15% of $250 million would be $37.5 million. But Bankman-Fried did not pay $37.5 million for his bond. No, Bankman-Fried actually paid no cash at all for his “$250 million bond.” Nothing. Zero. ...

 

...There is a second way to acquire a bail bond. A defendant, or someone on their behalf, may pledge collateral in the full amount of the bond. Then, if the defendant fails to appear in court, the pledged collateral is forfeit to the court. So, in Bankman-Fried’s case, that would mean he would need a benefactor to step up and pledge property worth $250 million to get the bond. But that did not happen either. ...

 

Instead, Bankman-Fried’s parents promised to pledge as collateral their Palo Alto, California, home, where he'll also be staying under house arrest. The Palo Alto home is rumored to be worth $4 million. And that is the full extent of the collateral pledged to guarantee the $250 million bond. No other collateral was posted or promised. ...

 

... In this case, Bankman-Fried was not required to post a conventional bail bond. Instead, Bankman-Fried was simply released from custody on something called a personal recognizance bond. The personal recognizance bond contains Bankman-Fried’s solemn promise (and his parents’ promise) to pay the court $250 million if he fails to show up for trial at the appointed time. ...

Musk should have bought the NYT when he bought Twitter. The paper of record :eyeroll:
 

 

 

Eh, he's a good dude: He hasn't kidnapped more than 38 people, and his body count is under 15! I mean hell, SBF only rapes his prostitutes half as much as other pimps!
