Eh, with bitcoin at least its back to being up 50% from where it was just a month or two ago... I've been riding that one a good long while. Have been buying $10 a day for like 3 years and bought a solid chunk like 2 years before that, so have been on the roller coaster for like 5 or so... Definitely a good few times that my stomach has dropped, but it's always worked itself out

There are more potential outcomes than these...a lot of times a ruling will chip away at one aspect or just be somewhere in the middle (like when they approved affirmative action, they included a 25 year sunset after which they posited it wouldn't be needed anymore.... it wasn't a flat blanket approval), so the use of an either/or model is overly simple.

Good points. I'd also like to see that breakdown and see where the heavier gasses or emissions ended up. And, someone else suggested on another sub that they might still be present. Would love to get some data on whether or not that is true.

It would make absolutely no sense for him to lie about such a thing.

““All my Republican donations were dark,” he said, referring to political donations that are not publicly disclosed in FEC filings. “The reason was not for regulatory reasons, it’s because reporters freak the f—k out if you donate to Republicans. They’re all super liberal, and I didn’t want to have that fight.””

Spoken like a true MAGA.

Additionally…

“Stuart McPhail, senior litigation counsel at Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, a watchdog group that filed an FEC complaint against Bankman-Fried last week, says his claims and the campaign finance charges could spur changes to election laws.

“There are a number of loopholes and limits that Sam Bankman-Fried was able to exploit that Congress can fix,” he tells TIME. “He directed money to influence elections but hid where that money came from.””

It just sort of seems like you don’t want it to be true so you won’t believe it’s true. If you have evidence that he lied, state that evidence.
