I think “violence” is at times such a silly measuring stick for modern justice.

Instead, we should see it as lost/ruined human potential. What is worse, violently robbing one bank of $10k, or “peacefully” robbing a massive number of people for billions of dollars?

I sure as hell know what I think, and it’s absolutely not in line with SBF’s sentence. He should rot in Ryker’s with people who have, unfortunately, done less harm but still found their way there.




25 years will be enough to where he’s doing time, wish it was more. Sadly his parents have enough cushion to where he won’t have to work when he is out.

Many people are in prison for doing less harm and for longer sentences than many white collar criminals.


similarly, more assets are seized by the police through asset forfeiture compared to total dollars stolen through theft.

Scammers deal many times the damage economically than shady car sales man
