The co-founder of failed cryptocurrency exchange FTX pleaded not guilty to a seven count indictment charging him with wire fraud, securities fraud and money laundering.

An attorney for FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried said in federal court Tuesday his client has to subsist on bread, water and peanut butter because the jail he’s in isn’t accommodating his vegan diet.

      Something doesn’t have to be 100% effective to work.

      Quitting smoking works to prevent cancer. That doesn’t mean it is 100% effective in preventing cancer.

        so you think the solution to stop someone from doing something you don’t like is to put someone else in a cage. i just can’t do that. that’s wrong.

          I can’t stop anyone from doing something I don’t like.

          But historically, there have been plenty of solutions to stop someone from doing something society doesn’t like. For example, execution. Torture. Punishing their relatives. Exile. Prison. And asking them nicely to please stop.

          Of those, I think prison is the best option. Putting someone in a cage may seem wrong, but letting them freely murder and rape innocent people is more wrong.

              So you’re fine with seeing some people in cages. You just don’t want to see SBF in a cage.

                  What do you plan to do with murderers and rapists?

                  Exile is no longer an option, because no other country will allow them in. And everyone has already been told from a young age that murder and rape are unacceptable.

                    I don’t have a one size fits all solution, and I don’t believe any such solution can possibly be just in every circumstance.

            i prefer asking them nicely to please stop. i also think exile is fine, but we should try shunning first.

          How far do you take this philosophy? Do you feel people who sexually abuse children should stay free?

              Yeh, fuck that. I’m a survivor of CSA, people who do that deserve life in prison at the very least.
