Why is it that we need to compromise on the prosecution of SBF. Will it save money in the long run? His lawyers may want it to go on longer, or are we the people paying for that as well? SBF is a self-centered, smug, entitled millennial who believes he can play stupid and get away with his crimes. He knew exactly what he was doing (probably under the guidance of his parents) and now thinks he can get away with it. The politicians who received his funding should be prosecuted for receiving money from him as well without doing their due diligence. Is OK for any of these politicians to receive money from unscrupulous sources? Drug dealers, Russian Oligarchs, Ukraine politicians, Chinese government officials, where does it end and WE as the American people take back our government?
Being Duped: Anyone believing the system is not stacked against the American people.
The decision to avoid a second trial charging Sam Bankman-Fried with a conspiracy to make unlawful political donations and bribery of foreign officials has many conservatives up in arms.
Federal prosecutors said Friday that they do not plan to proceed with a second trial against Sam Bankman-Fried, citing public interest in a speedy resolution of the case that has seemingly irritated those who were hoping to see the disgraced FTX founder prosecuted to the fullest extent.
In a Friday letter filed in federal court in Manhattan, prosecutors said they do “not plan to proceed with a second trial” as “much of the evidence that would be offered in a second trial was already offered in the first trial and can be considered by the Court at the defendant’s March 2024 sentencing.”
“Given that practical reality, and the strong public interest in a prompt resolution of this matter, the Government intends to proceed to sentencing on the counts for which the defendant was convicted at trial,” the prosecutors added.

The decision by prosecutors not to hold a second trial against Bankman-Fried quickly drew backlash from those who had followed the case.
“So we won’t know which politicians he bribed or who’s campaigns he influenced? That collective sigh of relief you are hearing is from the DEEP STATE,” Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., wrote in a Friday night post to X.
