Still waiting for that other massive fraudster Elizabeth Holmes to be taken into prison , then will see how this unfolds.
I thought SBF claimed to have only $100,000 in his bank account…
Nobody cares about the geeky kids that fooled the rich. They care about the money!
if he gets bail that will go to show 1) white privilege and 2) how corrupt the US judicial system is today.
Did the Ukraine president thank him for the transactions?
Will the DNC return the money ?
Let’s not call him “Crypto King” please. He is just a scammer.
Now his political friends in the government can help him.
Before he was stuck in Bahamas with no support.
Thiefs like this including all their corrupt friends need to go to jail.
He will walk and we all know this because corruption is huge in USA
awww he leaving his rat buddies behind in the Bahama jail..now he gets to go home and take a nice candle light bath at his parents aww poor guy ..and his 250mil bail easy peasy ppl how ya feel about that! he just made it out right on time for kissmas and pecan pie and pop off a new year to make y'all WHOLE again…this is pathetic..this guy top off madoff and Enron combined.. I would've set his damm bail at 10 billion+
“Caroline Ellison pleads GUILTY to SEC fraud charges “
SBFs Mom “I never did like that girlfriend of yours let’s hope she doesn’t rat us all out.” Lol!
Scam bankmoney fried in thin air😅
All of these people are currupt..This is a circus 🎪 for the masses. Either he won't do a day in jail, or he will do a bid on the island of Jeffrey Epstein… with a bunch of 20 year olds….drinking champagne and scheming on his next scam! Oh, and let's not forget to use the stolen money, to secure the ankle bracelet! What a joke, 🙄 !!
How can he have bail when he has hidden significant sums of money and is facing such a sentence! Wonder if he will be “suicided” in jail so Dems keep the $
Democrats had to have him arrested quickly to stop him talking so much 😂😂
Must be nice to post 250 mil bail with customers money.
Media talking heads
Constantly talk on subjects
They have zero knowledge of
And clearly and regularly make foolish commentary. 🙃🙄😂
Nothing is going to happen to him he will be Free in a Year !
If he can get away from jail , that mean unfair for all investors that lose all billions in crypto.
this what happens to you if you miss with rich peoples money
He's wasting his money on the attys. The U.S. is gonna get him either way
Why is he not wearing shorts 😂
Ask about credits Swiss ?
Available. !
Imagine being able to go and stay with your co-conspirators after you have ruined the lives of thousands and thousands of people? What a system!!
Fun fact: The only security offered for this $250 million bond is mom and dad Bankman-Fried's family home valued at about $2 million or 3% of the value. This entire thing is a farce and must be overturned at once. You can bet some poor black guy caught with a bag of weed in his back pocket would not get such tender treatment. Scam Bankster-Fraud is a criminal. Lock him up!
It was fraud to pay Iran 90Billion dollars for the Missile Cruser Vincennes
when you invest in crypto and loose deal with it ! A FOOL and his money is soon departed !
He stated upon his arrest he said he was down to 100000.00 all celebrities and politicians involved promoting ths should be held accountable
#FINRAFRAUD #MMTLP SEC, FINRA DTCC WALLSTREET MAFIA
He’s going to end up like Jeffrey Epstein, but before anything even get started, he would’ve been better off behind bars for his own safety
Great content💯, money is worthless until you put it to work…. I made my first million investing in Crypto. Making money is the plan and with investing in crypto, your plans can be fulfilled.
Nobody.. and I mean NOBODY willingly agrees to be extradited to the us to face life in prison… He was likely guaranteed a hand-picked jury and acquittal in exchange for his return to the US. Otherwise he would've fought the extradition to the Bahamas highest court.
Y'all are being played
Fried to U.S ?
SBF is not a common criminal yet he is being treated like Walmart shoplifter. He needs to be sent home. The rich and powerful are always being persecuted while the middle class and the poor are always getting let go. I thought everyone was supposed to be equal.
Lester is Back, again. Get off the air, Pester! Lester needs psychological help for his on-air obsession.
SBF. Harms a few greedy opportunists. Arrested in days. Trump. Harms an entire planet. Free. Oh, yes, running for President.
Make the Democrats give the money back to the people they stole it from. Simple!
