Great point.
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.
