We should end mass incarceration, but people who don't believe in personal responsibility have no business teaching law students, not to mention what they teach their own kids. If we incarcerate more fraudsters, there also will be less fraud.

So much for the bozos who say we should "move past the philosophy of personal responsibility."

Binance exec says 'it was like a bomb went off' at FTX, compares Bankman-Fried to Madoff and Elizabeth Holmes cnb.cx/3tFEJjj
""The philosophy of personal responsibility has ruined criminal justice and economic policy," Fried wrote at the time. "It’s time to move past blame.""
She can tell that to Crypto Bro over the telephone in the visiting room....
Of course rehabilitation is far preferable to incarceration, but part of rehabilitation is accepting personal responsibility for one's actions. We don't need some philosopher saying there is no such thing as personal responsibility. Complete nonsense.
We’ll end mass incarceration and racism in our criminal justice system pretty quickly if we stop incarcerating poor people for petty crimes and start locking up spoiled brat fraudsters whose parents never taught them about personal responsibility or think it doesn’t exist.

Sounds like it's time for Crypto Bro to learn a new "philosophy" from @TheJusticeDept and @FBI ...

Sam Bankman-Fried's professor mother penned 2013 essay shredding 'philosophy of personal responsibility' foxbusiness.com/politics/sam-b… #FoxBusiness
There are good arguments for reducing mass incarceration, but a legal philosopher who argues that we should ditch the "philosophy of personal responsibility" is just plain wrong.
And if a privileged rich kid is never taught not to take other people's money ... it's slammer time.
For four years we had a President who agreed with Crypto Bro's mom that we should ditch the "philosophy of personal responsibility."
@TheJusticeDept needs to indict powerful people who commit crimes and put them in the slammer.
Americans are fed up with this bad attitude.

It’s about time. Law school rankings are a scam. I see that associate deans at ⁦@pennlaw⁩ and other ultra wealthy $100K a year schools are already whining on Twitter that ⁦@YaleLawSch⁩ and @Harvard won’t play their game anymore. wsj.com/articles/yale-…
Law school rankings are all about $. To get $ and jack up rankings, law schools increase spending and tuition to astronomical levels. Student debt skyrockets and many graduates of the “best” law schools pay it off representing corporations and very rich people. That’s “justice”?
Of course there are alternative law school rankings. One is published by a blogger who also solicited litigation funds for a graduate student to sue Yale over a police body cam. The student now hosts a wokekkk .com website calling Democrats anti-White racists. Go figure....

We don't know all the facts yet, but Sam Bankman-Fried made huge political contributions as did other FTX officers. FTX met privately with the SEC. Did they buy off Washington? Congress must investigate (Members who didn't take the money that is).
cointelegraph.com/news/thousands…
FTX is not a Democrat scandal or a Republican scandal. FTX is (yet another) American scandal. If you don't want elites like Sam Bankman-Fried, other FTX officers, and even his parents (both lawyers), influencing Washington regulators with PAC money, REVERSE CITIZENS UNITED!
"Mind the Gap" is a great name for a PAC funded by people connected with Crypto Bro and FTX.
Regulators did nothing.
Now there's a several billion dollar gap - and growing....

The facts sure look bad.
Also, how many politicians did he buy off with his massive political spending?
All with other people's money.
Slammer time could be right around the corner.

The first question @FBI should ask Sam Bankman-Fried (the son of two lawyers, believe it or not):
"So, Crypto Bro, where's the dough?"
This tax law professor pontificates about law schools on the FTX Podcast.
At 6:20 he says "law schools are hiring scholars and not teachers...."
Law students know all about that.
But does he have anything to say about tax and crypto trading in the Bahamas?

Looks like somebody's in big trouble....

When will our nation's top business schools stop celebrating every new whiz kid that comes along?
Wonder if he stuck around for Q&A.
As in, "what did you do with the money?"
hbsclubchicago.org/s/1738/cc/21/p…
The facts are not in yet, but this reminds me of a dot com genius "billionaire" who turned out to be a fraudster who I and others reported to the SEC two decades ago. Took them a while, but he got his time in the slammer.

Pennsylvania?
This guy is from New Jersey.
If you say you live in a state on the Atlantic coastline and you also don’t even know when the @steelers are playing, nobody will believe you live in Pennsylvania. Go vote in New Jersey @DrOz.
On-line insanity.
This Marxist in Chicago makes a fundraising pitch for a woman in Nevada who now hosts a wokekkk.com website that rants about anti-White racism and urges everyone in Pennsylvania to vote for @DrOz.
Only the best people....
