Disgraced Sam Bankman-Fried appears to be living a life of luxury, after pictures of him in an American Airlines lounge and business class seat emerged following his $250 million bond release.

Photos show the accused fraudster Bankman-Fried relaxing at JFK's American Airlines Flagship lounge and later, without shoes, in a business class seat on a AA flight.

The pictures, posted to social media on Friday show two snaps in the lounge with a caption saying that he was there 'with his parents, FBI and lawyers.'

The person taking the lounge pictures said that they had asked if they could take a picture to which Bankman-Fried claimed to say 'maybe not today.'

He was freed on a bond, not bail.

The FBI is kind of like Secret Service for Democrat felons.

Remember how they ran interference for Crack-Boy Hunter Biden on his laptop.

You have to wonder if the fibbies detail a female agent to hold Sammy's whang when he takes a pee - kind of like the female Secret Service agents had to service the JoeTatoe when he was enjoying a swim...

And people who stood outside the Capitol have their lives ruined with Mitch “hey, I am in a hurry to get home for Christmas” McConnell agreeing to another $ 200 million plus to prosecute them. I remember some jerk colonel denying Richard Nixon the right to golf on an Army course after he left office and Nixon’s “crimes” were of a thousandth in magnitude of those of this slob. But he rides business class and enjoys the fine AA lounges that are offlimits to paying coach customers. So I guess his “penalty” is to have the ugliest set of parents I’ve ever seen.

So Sammy gets to go home for Christmas and the J6 political prisoners will spend ANOTHER Christmas in jail for walking thru a Capital door HELD OPEN BY CAPITAL POLICE. Equality for all right?

These people who are guilty have to know that some day this is all coming to an end & they better get themselves prepared for it. Vengeance is mine, says the Lord.

“One of the reasons he was confident in granting bond was SBF’s newfound fame - he has ‘achieved sufficient notoriety that it would be impossible’ for him to hide, he said. “

Since he was part of the zelensky - dc corruption circle, I doubt that notoriety will affect him much after he skips out to a villa in ukraine.

I’m sure there is a betting line on where SBF will “not” commit suicide ... or when he is found hanged, how did the 9mm double-tap(heart/head) happen?

What ever happened to equal protection and the right to a speedy trial? These political prisoners may as well be in a Gulag. There is absolutely no reason to be keeping them incarcerated for this period of time for the alleged crime for which they are charged.

“He was freed on a bond, not bail.”

it wasn’t even a real bond, it was a personal recognizance bond. He didn’t have to put up a dime. He and his parents just promised to pay 250 million if he didn’t show up. No surety (bondsman) would write a 250 million dollar bond for 10% unless you put up 250 million in collateral.

Yup. It’s yet another unregulated, illegal money laundering operation for the DNC.

“..I’m sure there is a betting line on where SBF will “not” commit suicide ... or when he is found hanged, how did the 9mm double-tap(heart/head) happen?...”

His parents knew it and did everything possible to get him out of going to “Epsein’s Cell” to commit the “suicide”, but DS will still take him out before he can spill his guts...
JoeTato, Mitchie Poo and a host of other UniParty slime will see to it....they can’t afford to have the details of the inner workings of the “official U.S. Congressional Laundry Mat” (Ukraine) formally getting out to the “unwashed masses”.
And you’re probably right: the betting line is long.....

G Gordon Liddy said crime does pay, otherwise, there would be no crime.
