Obviously drank the koolaid and isn't taking ownership for getting duped. Her being heavily featured in the book, gives her an agenda.
Listening to this now. Had the same thoughts.
I really like Lewis and will still read his future works. But he clearly has allowed himself to be snowed over by this guy. Too bad.
Just following along with that thread, it sounds like the judge is laying down the law here, but I don't have a good ear for this genre. Having the judge announce from the bench that you engaged in witness tampering doesn't seem like a very good omen though.
I would add ten years just for this.
25 years is lenient?
Yes. He could have gotten 100
That seems overly long for a non-violent crime. I'm all for putting white collar financial criminals behind bars, but anything over 25 years is probably too long unless there's violence involved.
What's he addicted to? Profits and grifting?
3 of his victims committed suicide. I'm cool with 40
That's no 100% on him IMO. Suicide is terrible and tragic, but that's not on SBF. Can't believe I'm defending that POS.
I'm sure he'll probably land at a prison camp. That seems fine to me.
Your instincts are correct. People can gripe all they want on an absolute basis about white-collar crime sentences, but on a relative basis the SBF sentence is on the heavier side compared to other notables.
To be fair, Martha Stewart doesn't belong on this list. She didn't do anything terribly wrong, unlike these other folks.
It's a list of notable white collar criminals.
Because he’s not doing 25, it will be much lighter. He will use his influential parents and people he donated to to help get out sooner: Eight Billion is nothing to sneeze at.
He'll be fine in prison, and to be clear, he should be fine. I would have supported a life sentence for SBF, because people like him should be removed from society for the benefit of the rest of us. But there's no need for him to be treated cruelly while he's incarcerated. A federal prison camp is the right place for this type of inmate.

I'm annoyed that someone who ruined a lot of people's financial situations is somehow better than someone who commits an act of violence against one person. So his sentence shouldn't be as harsh. This is a stupid rule everyone agreed to.
I think he’s scum but if he serves 25 that’s fit. You are making assumptions on when he will get out. All we know now is he is sentenced to 25.
Not a snowball's chance in hell he serves anywhere close to 25. I'd probably be ok if he served 25 years but as the esteemed Malaise states, no way that happens. Delude yourself if you like but he's out in 12 or less.
He probably won't, and that would be unfortunate, but you can’t sentence somebody to 50 years for a 25 year crime on the assumption they’ll get out in half the time.
Lol you don’t have to be a prick with the delude yourself statement. I know exactly how the system works. It’ll suck if he serves less than 25 but that’s the way it goes.
lol @ being called a prick for using the word delude.
