  • ‘I’m excited to hear about his time in prison ‘? Awesome journalistic statement
  • Why people gave him money is beyond me. The whole lot of them are jokes.
  • The guy steals billions and is at home playing video games...
  • I searched "wingbar" in Brooklyn @ 275 Smith Street and it brought me here?
  • @cronostvg
    Loose a lot of people's money. Then, not expect to be arrested.
  • @naidol
    SBF believes his innocent. So how did his parents and brother afford all that expensive real estate? The Bankman Fried family cannot or don't want to explain this.
  • The jailers in the Bahamas didn't want him so they sent in bigger rats and bananas and rice for food . so SBF would not fight extradition. 😂 SBF still thinks he has everybody fooled.
  • He doesn’t want to shut up, because its a loser strategy?!! He says!!!!
  • @katebunch2047
    I think he has a long road to go....yikes. He stole so much money- he is a liar and his family is so totally guilty.
  • @hockeyfan2777

    "coming down the pipe", actually, it's PIKE, "what comes to my head", actually, it's "the word that comes to mind is...". Incredibly, in a 19:53 minute interview in which she did little of the talking there was yet another one, but it just doesn't matter at this point. Forbes has really slipped in it's hiring standards. Used to be that journalists were assumed to have an extensive vocabulary and a nuanced understanding of language and how to use it. Also, I believe SBF is a narcissist and maybe even a socio or psychopath (just like Madoff) who really has no empathy for anyone or anything but his own needs. Of course SBF would claim innocence and try to work public opinion to sway any potential jurists. He steals billions and plays games in front of people because he simply does not care about them and probably even has contempt for others. Since this interview SBF has said that maybe he should just pay a very large fine, but where would that money come from? It would be the stolen funds! Such contempt! The guy being interviewed comes off as a rather naive and if SBF thought about him, SBF might laugh about it, but he likely didn't even give a second though to the guy who interviewed him beyond what he could do for him.
