  1. Trump should take lessons from SBF on how to lie and have people believe you.

  2. He'll walk or get a cute sentence he doesn't deserve. He's smart. he made donations to democrats. Had he not done that or donated to republicans instead, he'd be in prison right now.

  3. He needs to be in jail for life, without parole.

  4. REPUBS MUST FORGET TRUMP HAVING A GOVT JOB AGAIN.
    I am as ANGRY this am as I was Jan 6. The people who are donating to Trump may want to ask for that money back now. IF YOU READ ABOUT PAC DONATIONS, they are designed to cover legal fees, for example, but only for CANDIDATES.
    FOR CRIMES COMITTED WHILE they wer a candidate.
    TRUMP WAS NOT A CANDIDATE ON JAN 6…..OR WHEN HE REFUSED TO RETURN GOVT PROPERTY AFTER HE LOST RE ELECTION….SO, why are PAC and SAVE AMERICA GIVING DONATED FUNDS FOR CANDIDATES TO TRUMP FOR CRIMES WHILE HE WAS NOT A CANDIDATE??? TRUMP HELPED SET UP SAVE AMERICA AND IS TAKING MONEY, MILLIONS!!!!!

  5. The Government needs to give this guy 25 years in Federal Prison. Because people killed themselves over what he did. Twitch was one of his victims 😔 😢

  6. This dirtbag Bank-fraud man needs to go away for LIFE. Let some fellows on the inside give him a big welcome party.

  7. He was a criminal from day one. He was going to save the world – now he can’t save his own…

  8. I was wondering what was going on with him, haven’t heard an update until now

  9. Part of his sentence should be to be forced to shave his jewfro off 😂👍

  10. FTX is probably related to JPEX.

  11. Yeah he stole a lot of money and bought a lot of stuff. Yawn
    And he knew exactly what he was doing.

  12. This guy is just another Madoff….. Fraudsters SBF & Trump in the same court house!

  13. I'd be shocked if this clown went to jail. Tribe members rarely go to jail, especially Democrat ones. They're a protected species.

  14. All the celebrities who were involved in other crypto scam should be charged too

  15. Nothing will happen to this guy cause he donated millions to democrats .

  16. He and Trump should combine trials, save a few bucks on attorneys.

  17. The fact they didn't charge him with election fraud is pure corruption.
