It is possible that Sam Bankman-Fried's defense team, via SBF speaking openly to the press, is establishing diminished capacity in an updated version of the “Twinkie defense” to keep him out of prison.

The diminished capacity defense will have to deal with any and all correspondence that the prosecution will have at their disposal.

If that correspondence from the defendant is lucid that defense is doomed imho.

No way. Too many pissed off powerful people. That defense might work if you shoot your lover in a fit of rage. Methodically stealing money from the rich and powerful—not so much.

True, but I have trouble feeling sorry for anybody that lost money investing money in this weirdo dork.

If Sam Bankman-Fraud showed up at your door wanting investment money on Tuesday.

Then a day later *Andrew Carnegie shows up wanting investment money.

Which guy are you investing in?

* Carnegie is dead but in this scenario he’s alive.

They have already fitted MANY people with concrete galoshes, and gotten away with it. One more won’t matter much.

With the blessing of the prosecution, Sam Banker-Fried’s helicopter parents and he are currently all together in private in the family home near Palo Alto, California, where they can figure out and rehearse the approach to perfection’s Sam’s mental health defense - that that will assume Sam will not serve prison time.

The parents seem to have been integrally involved in the set up and workings of the companies. A three-month-old webinar by Sam’s father’s was on Sam’s company’s website. The parents were integrally involved in Sam’s company. The parents also set up a non-profit for Gabe, the other son. It has as its claimed goal preventing a worldwide epidemic.

The father is both an academic teaching tax law and also a psychologist in the community, What better an advisors for Sam to mount a claim of

They’ll sentence him to prison for the headlines. Then, 6 months later when the public’s short attention span has reached its limit, they’ll invent a reason to let him out of prison and he’ll be happy, and all the democrats who received money will be happy, and justice will be trashed.

His hobbit girlfriend, on the other hand, will get 100 years.

Then I would punch Andrew Carnegie in the eye because I already gave all my money to SBF.
