SAM BANKMAN-FRIEDšŸ”CONFINEMENT🧵1/

Contrary to what the DOJ and MSM would have you believe, Sam's parents did not have to post a $250M bond or even 10% of that amount. Instead, they secured their son's release by pledging their $4.5M historic Palo Alto home. Image

Barbara Fried and Joseph Bankman bought their home a year before Sam's birth. The home features expansive windows looking out onto the swimming pool. Inside, the home features hardwood floors, floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, and a grand piano. ImageImageImageImage

Under the terms of Sam's release, he can only leave the house to visit his doctor, therapist, and gym. So if you frequent Equinox Palo Alto you may run into SammyB. ImageImageImageImage

Sam will be in good company. In 1958 Philosopher Willard Van Orman Quine contracted hepatitis and was home-ridden in the house recounting that he was ā€œconvalescing by the poolā€ finishing his most important work, Word and Object. Image

Sam's house sits feet from undergrad housing, including its closest neighbor, the quirky ā€œnaked, pagan, and veganā€ dorm Synergy. It's just behind Fraternity Row, and across the street from the president’s mansion.

Stanford has decided to shut down the streets around SammyB's new residence to avoid a possible circus event. Stanford said the closures will be ā€œtemporary and limited,ā€ as most students are not expected to be back on campus until Jan. 7.

In other news, SammyB's trying to keep the $450M in Robinhood stock he owns in a shell company he set up in Antiqua. FTX says it is theirs. His ex-girlfriend evidently pledged it to another guy. Court will decide.

LAWFARE🧵1/9: After publishing an op-ed exposing how Sergio Gor, Director of the White House PPO, sabotaged the most consequential political partnership in American history, I received a letter from Gor’s lawyer threatening to sue me for defamation.
LAWFARE🧵2/9: Sergio Gor's lawyer, Robert Garson, is demanding that I remove the op-ed from š•, issue a full retraction falsely claiming the article contained false statements about Gor, and issue a prominent apology on š• and in a local newspaper expressing regret for the harm I caused Gor, including emotional distress.Image
LAWFARE🧵3/9: Let’s dispense with the pretense. My op-ed was built on a foundation of already published mainstream reporting, further corroborated by more than a dozen sources spanning the White House, executive agencies, and members of Mar-a-Lago. I did not, and deliberately chose not to, include any allegations that had not already entered the public domain. While some of what I uncovered through my own reporting was explosive, it was also beside the point. My objective was focused and clear: to expose how Sergio Gor sabotaged what may have been the most consequential political partnership in modern American history, between President Trump and Elon Musk.

The allegations shared with me by insiders were certainly lurid, but they were not central to the thesis of my column. So I excluded them. That’s called editorial judgment, something Gor and his lawyer seem to confuse with defamation.

In this thread, I will address the claims made in the demand letter from Mr. Gor’s attorney. I do so not because I fear legal reprisal (though if I'm honest I do), but because the truth deserves daylight. If Mr. Gor takes issue with the facts or the framing, he is welcome to make his case publicly. But let’s be clear: courts are not truth tribunals for political speech, and they were never meant to serve as censors for dissenting opinion. That belongs to the American people, not a bench and gavel.Image

SPORTSBALL: Imagine letting Marina Mabrey stay in the game after assaulting the league’s biggest star? Just a routine tech? Pathetic, WNBA. And giving Caitlin a tech after getting her eyes raked and then taunted? Embarrassing.

INSURRECTION🧵: With the weekend over the insurgency in LA will either end or resume on Friday. It turns out insurgents need to work. Only hardcore Antifa rebels can riot 24/7.
