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.

    Incarceration should be reserved for people too dangerous to live in society.

    For crimes like what he committed, he should do community service, have future wages garnished, and be canned.

      I knew one of you loonies was going to start demanding he be released.

      Well, you’re wrong. He absolutely should be in prison, preferably for the rest of his life along with every other scumbag who stole money out of innocent people’s retirement funds, 401Ks, home equity, and every other heinous white collar crime committed on the American people by the ruling class.

      You don’t care about justice, you only care about what makes you feel better and that’s wrong.

        Hmmm, 4 hour old account with comments solely on this post? Pretty suspect.

        Especially when you’re using the exact same language as another user in this thread.

        You don’t care about justice, you only care about what makes you feel better and that’s wrong.

        I’m pretty sure they even used this exact line on me. Lol any chance this is the same person, and you made more accounts to upvote your own comments and downvote those you disagree with? That’d be pretty sad.

          Always accuse the other side of that which you are guilty.

          It doesn’t occur to you that maybe you just come off that way and that other people disagree with you? That maybe, just maybe, you’re a douchebag defending terrible ideas?

          But go ahead and keep playing the victim. I’m sure Sam Bankman-Fried’s actual victims will appreciate you shitting all over them, defending someone who stole their life savings, just so you can satisfy your little persecution complex.

            Care to quote where I was shitting on anyone? I feel terrible for those people - it’s fucking awful what happened to them.

            Also not sure where I played the victim. I literally have no idea what you’re talking about. Not to mention the whole bit about a persecution complex, it’s so random it almost makes me think it’s projection.

            Either way I hope you eventually learn that things aren’t so black and white, and to soften those edges a bit. Living with so much hate isn’t good for you.

              And here’s another little roach crawling out of the woodwork. One quick look through your post history shows I’m right – you all ARE working together and brigading and being douchebags. When other people started giving you pushback, it angered you. And here you two are now, completely unironically ganging up on me like you all think this is Reddit because you’re being called out on it.

              Have you ever considered that maybe you’re the baddies?
