‘Remorseless’ Sam Bankman-Fried sentenced to 25 years in prison — as judge rips him as power-obsessed scammer

A Manhattan judge ripped Sam Bankman-Fried as a “remorseless” scammer obsessed with political power as he sentenced the fallen crypto mogul to 25 years in prison Thursday — five months after he was found guilty of stealing more than $8 billion from customers of his now-bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX.

Judge Lewis Kaplan said the 32-year-old convicted fraudster “presented himself as the good guy” all in favor of “appropriate regulation of the crypto industry” — but it was just an “act.”

“He did it because he wanted to be a hugely, hugely political influential person in this country,” Kaplan said, blasting him as “remorseless.”

“He knew it was wrong, he knew it was criminal, he regrets that he made a very bad bet about the likelihood of being caught,” he continued, as Bankman-Fried stood in front of him with his hands clasped tightly at his waist.

Moments before the judge handed down the lengthy sentence, Bankman-Fried apologized for making “bad decisions” that “failed everyone I care about” — but maintained his actions “weren’t selfish.”

“At the end of the day, I failed everyone that I care about and everything that I care about, too,” he said at the hearing in Manhattan federal court.

“A lot of people feel really let down and, I’m sorry about that. I’m sorry about what happened at every stage,” the fallen crypto mogul, wearing light tan jail garb, continued.

“I made a series of decisions, they weren’t selfish decisions, they weren’t selfless decisions. They were decisions.”

Liberals are controlled by fear

The facts are in. Liberals are controlled by fear. Their tiny reptilian brains control they voting habits, and without higher order logic or executive functions, they are dominated by fear and anger.
They are just sad victims of the journo-political complex, reduced to mere automatons driven by hate and fear at the discretion of their corporate media masters.

Trump evokes more anger and fear from Democrats than Biden does from Republicans, AP-NORC poll shows

Many Americans are unenthusiastic about a November rematch of the 2020 presidential election. But presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump appears to stoke more anger and fear among Americans from his opposing party than President Joe Biden does from his.

A new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds that Democrats are more likely to report feeling “fearful” or “angry” about the prospects of another Trump term than Republicans are about the idea of Biden remaining in the White House.

The emotional reaction Trump inspires may work in his favor too, though, since the poll also found that Republicans are more excited about the prospect of a Trump win than Democrats are about a Biden victory.

Seven in 10 Democrats say the words “angry” or “fearful” would describe their emotions “extremely well” or “very well” upon a Trump victory. A smaller majority of Republicans – 56% – say the same about a Biden triumph. About 6 in 10 Democrats cite both emotions when contemplating a Trump victory. Again, that exceeds the roughly 4 out of 10 Republicans who said they would feel both angry and scared about Biden prevailing

Bengaluru Man Dies After Friend Pumps Hot Air Into His Rectum For Fun

Police told News18 that Murali was employed at the service centre, where his friend Yogesh went to get his two-wheeler washed.

Baltimore Mayor Taunts Racist Republican Trolls With Brutally Honest New ‘DEI’ Definition

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/baltimore-dei-mayor-criticism-brandon-scott_n_6604e6ebe4b03f25dbfd765f

Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott (D) responded to some of the bizarre criticisms coming from conservatives following the cargo ship-induced collapse of the city’s Francis Scott Key Bridge early Tuesday morning by saying the term DEI—when applied derogatorily to him—means “duly elected incumbent.”

On MSNBC’s The Reid Out, host Joy Reid prefaced her interview with Scott, who is Black, by calling attention to a tweet describing Scott as “Baltimore’s DEI mayor.” That post, which references the acronym that stands for diversity, equity and inclusion, has generated more than 25 million views, along with a clarifying community note on Twitter.

“I cannot believe I have to say this,” Reid began. “Brandon Scott was elected with 70 percent of the vote in 2020 in a city that is 61 percent Black. So by right-wing logic, a ‘diversity hire’ would have been a white man.”

Reid then asked Scott if he wanted to address the “tomfoolery” of those attacking him “for having the nerve to be Black and also a mayor.” He obliged.

“I know, and we all know, and you know very well that Black men and young Black men in particular have been the bogeyman for those who are racist and think that only straight, wealthy white men should have a say in anything,” Scott said. “We’ve been the bogeyman for them since the first day they brought us to this country. And what they mean by DEI, in my opinion, is Duly Elected Incumbent.”

Scott easily won Baltimore’s mayoral race four years ago, with the next closest candidate, an independent, acquiring just 20 percent of the vote. In the Democratic primary earlier that year, Scott had edged out the city’s scandal-plagued former mayor, Sheila Dixon. Scott is running for re-election in November, while Dixon is again mounting a bid.

Scott added that for his critics, ‘DEI’ is a euphemism.

REPUBLICAN COURTS DO IT AGAIN, Reduce Trump's bond to only $175M and extend deadline

Once again the disgusting 2 tier justice system that constantly bend over backwards to white, rich individuals like Trump rears its head.

https://apnews.com/article/trump-civil-fraud-case-verdict-penalty-appeal-8447c48d0436083737204b13401438d2

Former President Donald Trump has 10 days to post $175 million in bond after a New York judge agreed to reduce the bond payment in his civil fraud appeal on Monday.

Before the judge’s ruling, Trump was due to post $464 million in bond by the end of the day on Monday, or else New York Attorney General Letitia James would be able to begin seizing properties from him in order to fulfill the penalty imposed on him for engaging in fraudulent business practices.

Trump was found guilty of engaging in fraud on Feb. 16 for manipulating business records in order to obtain favorable loan terms from banks and insurers. Judge Arthur Engoron ordered Trump to pay $464 million in fines and barred him from serving as an officer or director of a corporation or applying for a loan in New York state for three years. Trump’s sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, were also barred from board and officer positions for two years.

In a statement released after the bond reduction was announced, Trump claimed that James and Engoron’s credibility had been “shattered.”

“We will abide by the decision of the Appellate Division, and post either a bond, equivalent securities, or cash,” Trump said in the statement. “This also shows how ridiculous and outrageous Engoron’s original decision was at $450 Million.”

The decision to reduce Trump’s bond payment came after he pleaded with the court to either waive or reduce the amount owed to $100 million or less. In a court filing on March 18, Trump complained that the original $464 million bond payment was unprecedented — which is not true — and that he did not have the cash to put up as collateral, leading 30 bond companies to reject his requests for a bond loan.

>Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 has triggered the deepest crisis in Russia's relations with the West since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.
>Speaking to Russian air force pilots, Putin said the U.S.-led military alliance had expanded eastwards towards Russia since the 1991 fall of the Soviet Union but that Moscow had no plans to attack a NATO state.
>"We have no aggressive intentions towards these states," Putin said, according to a Kremlin transcript released on Thursday.
>"The idea that we will attack some other country - Poland, the Baltic States, and the Czechs are also being scared - is complete nonsense. It's just drivel."
>The Kremlin, which accuses the U.S. of fighting against Russia by supporting Ukraine with money, weapons and intelligence, says relations with Washington have probably never been worse.

Judge rules John Eastman should be disbarred for enabling Trump's cockameme election fraud theories

A California judge on Wednesday recommended the disbarment of John Eastman, calling to revoke the law license of one of former President Donald Trump’s top allies in his failed last-ditch gambit to subvert the 2020 election.

Judge Yvette Roland, who presided over months of testimony and argument about the basis of Eastman’s fringe legal theories, ruled that the veteran conservative attorney violated ethics rules — and even potentially criminal law — when he advanced Trump’s efforts to overturn the election results based on weak or discredited claims of fraud.

Eastman plans to appeal Roland’s decision to a panel of judges, an interim step before the matter reaches the state Supreme Court. But while his appeal is pending, the ruling forces his law license into “inactive” status, meaning he can no longer practice law in California.

Disney caves in high-stakes lawsuit against Ron DeSantis for control of district governing Orlando theme parks

Disney on Wednesday capitulated in its long-running legal battle against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis — handing a victory to the Republican in the high-stakes fight over a $17 billion planned development at the company’s theme park near Orlando.

The Mouse House agreed to a settlement that gives up its self-governing powers over the Reedy Creek Improvement District, which was dissolved by DeSantis in 2022 after the company opposed his legislation. Disney had controlled the special tax district for decades.

As part of the deal, Bob Iger’s Disney also agreed to drop a lawsuit over access to public records and defer briefings in a federal lawsuit it filed against DeSantis as the two sides try to reach a consensus on a new development agreement for Walt Disney World, among other matters.

“This agreement opens a new chapter of constructive engagement with the new leadership of the district,” Walt Disney World President Jeff Vahle said.

DeSantis took a victory lap after the stunning turn of events, saying his administration was “vindicated” by the settlement with one of Florida’s biggest employers following the two-year feud.

“A year ago people were trying to act like all these legal maneuvers were all going to succeed, and the reality is here we are a year later, not one of them has succeeded,” DeSantis told reporters in Orlando.

“Every action that we’ve taken has been upheld in full, and the state is better off for it.”
