This is from handing the New York Times the private writings of Caroline Ellison, his ex-girlfriend, who was involved in all this.
Oh, and apparently she did a follow-up for "More Perfect Union." I'm going to watch this now.
One of the better parts of the order:
I mean - judges do not take kindly to pissing on their orders.
The article that landed him in jail, for reference.
He seems to be attempting to say that she knew what was going on and was knowingly cooperating in the scam. Which... No shit, she plead guilty? Not even good at witness tampering.
Wait. You are literally using the Sideshow Bob "attempted chemistry" defense for surrendering someone's intimate writings to the press?
And then you're wondering why the judge smacked you with the gavel?
Am I parsing this right? After his extradition he vpn'd to The Bahamas to sign up for Sunday Ticket (which wasn't an authorized account on his bail) just to watch a 9er's game? Which would have been on OTA at Palo Alto.
but then he wouldn't have the pleasure of knowing and showing, again, how he's so much smarter than the judge and everyone else.
(so smart he's probably gonna eat another contempt charge for it!)
I guess you try something small and pointless to see if you get called on it, then you can use the defense "all I was doing was watching a football game that I could have watched legally anyway".
And if you don't get called on it, you start pushing things more.

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/08/buyers-of-bored-ape-nfts-sue-after-digital-apes-turn-out-to-be-bad-investment/ So why does someone buying something at an inflated price and regretting it potentially provide grounds for a lawsuit? The ongoing SBF proceedings have revealed that the wallet which received the ugly ape NFTs, described as belonging to a 'traditional' collector, was in fact controlled by FTX. The lawsuit alleges that Yuga Labs and Sotheby's colluded to misrepresent that mainstream non-cryptobro investors were willing to pay premium prices, when in reality it was just our friend SBF losing his first $10million dollars when NFT prices crashed 8 months later (the ape price has continued to slide and are currently worth around 20% of what FTX paid at the auction).
Well, that and the fact that cryptocurrency can't be easily spent in the traditional sense, so the cryptobros had to do something with their "wealth."
If we dig deeper we’re going to find out that FTX owned a different …ugh….”portfolio”…. of NFTs and this was part of a pump and dump (though I think they forgot that last part)
Also money laundering in traditional artistic works
They didn't want the BAYCs to actually get traded, as that would inevitably drop the price and ruin their ability to get loans.
Yuga Labs definitely wants them traded. They get 2.5% of every ape trade and 5-10% of every other collection they've crapped out, and even higher on other stuff like slurp juice and poo tickets. In 2022 they made $150 million in royalties and even with the crash they've got several of the collections still moving around and are expecting close to $75 million.
that's why we call it the struggle, you're supposed to sweat
There's a Petroleum County here in Montana.
Edit: Also, why do you think I said reality is drunk?
(For example none of those passwords should work at this point..)
What people do to store passwords without using password managers is usually much worse.
And my backup is an iPhone notepad stored on the cloud.
If somebody has a rogue checkbook and you want to abandon your account, it's a matter of a phone call and a bit of a hold listening to that 45 second loop of music that almost sounds like something recognizable for a couple bars and then veers off into something else. But crypto was designed to penalize abandoning an account because an account is supposed to be an identity.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised at this point but here we are.
Yeah. Banks really don’t like account takeovers. It’s what they consider to be a “repetitional risk.” Most banks now have a lot of automated systems that will shut down cards and accounts if unusual transactions are occurring - I had all my credit cards shut off by two separate banks at the same time while travelling overseas a few years ago, which was pretty awkward - and yes, I did notify the banks of my travel plans beforehand.
Crypto is like “your account? Oh no, it’s their account now.”
To quote the OP Video about the functionalisty of Crypto Wallets: "Possession is Ownership, and Access is Permission"
Also, if you are going to use a password manager try using one without a history of security breaches that takes up roughly half of its Wikipedia page.
The fundamental issue is that the blockchain is public and anyone can nominally add a new entry to the chain, so what stops you from adding an entry that's "[rich schmuck] sends one million bitcoin to my account" is just that to do that IIRC you need to have...
- The public address for the target wallet
- The public address for the sending wallet
- The private key for the sending wallet
- A mathed-out number that makes sense with all of the above
(I might have some details wrong.)So you can't change your password, because your password is required for the fundamental math that identifies that your account is the one that was involved in the transaction.
- transferring your crypto to the new wallet requires you to spend crypto, by either paying miners and/or straight burning the money.
- transferring your crypto to the new wallet is also dependent on the speed of the mining
- any smart contacts using your old account would have to be corrected somehow, if possible.
- trying to transfer your crypto out of a particular exchange is likely to incur additional fees, but then, an exchange might just let you change the password to your account because their accounts are not actually implemented as crypto wallets.
So making a new password is easy, but transferring everything across is a pain.
And it requires you to act before someone else spends more of your crypto to steal it.

Texas encouraged them to set up shop, with these credits for turning their stuff off as an incentive.
This is after the freeze shower all of the cracks in the system.
Also in August they had 11 days asking people to cut back on usage, blaming lack of wind power (a small part of what is generated). Not blaming lack of other power generation or reserves to counter a shortfall, not blaming a lack of investment to keep up with demand... just no wind.
