Fat Leonard got house arrest. 
Guess where he's at now.
Where did he find the money? >

I'm noticing a trend between these trust fund kids, like Bankman-Fried and Elizabeth Holmes, and their crazy schemes. Permissive parenting and unlimited resources can really twist a mind. >

I have a friend whose parents were well off and owned a company. He was getting paid as he went to university. He would study this and fail, study that and fail until he finally decided to become a beer master. Mom and Dad sent him to Germany to do so. When he got back they funded his brewery. It ran for 5 years and now it is being sold off. Yup, must be nice to be able to fail with little consequence. >

They are the people that said they pulled themselves up by the bootstrap. It’s because they had nothing to worry about falling and losing everything. >

It's why I prefer a version of that saying that "the person was born on 3rd base and thinks they hit a home run." These people will say that they worked hard, and in some cases they did, but they neglect to acknowledge how much of a head start they had. >

thats not how the saying goes. it goes like “the person was born on third and thinks they hit a triple.” You cant hit a home run and stop on third base. >

Well, you can, but you’re really going to piss off a lot of people. >

That is what I was thinking, if you hit it over the wall is there a rule you have to go all the way to home? >

I think so because technically the run doesn’t count until the runner touches the plate. >

That’s why his legal team wanted his extradition: so he could make bail, right? >

For sure >

I once had a unpaid ticket for 350 dollars that i couldn't pay and got a warrant for. I spent 3 months in jail for the warrant and still had to pay the ticket. I was also denied bond. 
How does he only get house arrest for stealing 8 billion? >

You go to jail where you live for not being able to pay a ticket?! Sounds like 19th century England. >

People who stole 0.001% of what he did are sitting in jail today because they cannot afford bail or the terms of release. Therefore, his bail was set too low by orders of magnitude. >

Or others bail was too high.  If you’re not a flight risk or danger to others, there’s zero reason to disrupt a persons life by keeping them in jail when they’re not found to be guilty. >

Great point. >

Whose house? I thought mom and dad were staying on the island with all that property they bought?
edit, whoops, it's whose. >


Who's house?

Run's House. >

I said, WHOSE HOUSE?! >

Say What? >

Soooo you're saying if I rob a bank I can use that money to pay for the best defense lawyer in town? I wonder if I'd get to keep the rest if I get off. Sounds like a good career possibility. >

You can't rob a bank and get off, banks are where rich people keep money, and you absolutely positively cannot rob the rich. 
You can rob poor people all you want without consequences, however. And if you do it in volume like Jeff Bezos or Sam Walton...well, you see where it got them! >

This guy screwed over Tom Brady and a handful of other athletes. I really want to see what happens to him
