Those ridiculous 100+ years judgements
only in murica. Just say life sentence and that's it.
Of all places, he ran there? Did he think the Bahamas were going to take diplomatic heat from the US to protect him?
Kinda interested in the LUNA guy that's running, too. Apparently he's in Serbia trying to fend off Korean authorities.
Does the bankman is clinically kretin or genius?
He really thought he owned a bank and used all the customers funds for personal use.
Bankman-Fried arrested for Bank Fraud.
Could make a catchy headline
Maybe that's so when he's old and terminally ill, they can just compassionate release him and not have to pay for treatment. It's an asshole thing to do, but meh in this case.
