    sell some loosies on a bronx street corner, get choked to death by the cops, steal 11 billion, get two years in minimum security, sure, makes sense

      She was given extreme leniency because she was the main cooperator with police. There would be no FTX case wihout her. She seemed relieved when it all got cracked open and she seemed remorseful in her interviews and testimonies. So she at least demonstrated remorse enough to convince the police and the court. Whether it’s genuine remorse or alligator tears doesn’t matter as much as her contribution to getting the bigger fish caught, though. Rewarding cooperators an essential piece of the justice machine.

        But even SBF “only” got 25 years, which is still a Hell of a lot lighter than “choked to death by the cops.”

          Nobody thinks that Floyd deserved to get killed, doesn’t mean we need to start also killing random other people

              Everyone’s memory is getting bad because the OP was talking about Eric Garner who was murdered by police for selling loose cigarettes out of a pack.
