You're right the wording in my original post was terrible, I apologize and can see that it could appear offensive as written. It doesn't matter and isn't relevant to the core facts that he clearly stole and misappropriated billions of dollars from his company's depositors and engaged in fraud, wire fraud, misuse of funds, self-dealing, and other criminal activities that were explicitly for the purpose of enriching himself.

In my opinion, I do want to say that given the more provocative elements of the story, I get a sense that it seems to point to a larger-than-life lifestyle involving people working together and engaging in activities that mixed drugs, sex, and huge amounts of money - not to mention the "conspiratorial" elite connections to political figures and academics that are connected via SBF and Caroline Ellis. Given that so many people were impacted by what are crimes, as can be seen by how ferociously the twitter sphere is picking at all parts of the story - it appears that everything is under judgement, frankly.



Their in-house psychiatrist to write them all scrips said that the amount of drugs and hooking up was way overstated. Maybe? Maybe it's the dealer saying there are no drugs? I have no idea.

"Rich 20-somethings like drugs and sex on tropical beaches" is a pretty uninteresting story to me. "Rich 20-somethings do so much adderall that they code backdoors instead of having sex whith tropical beaches are outside" is at least more interesting to read about.

Making Twitter angry is illegal now?
