Yeah it's often mixed feelings for me with situations like this where you know other people were culpable as well, but some cases you just can't necessarily produce the evidence required to convince a jury without co-conspirator testimony, or at least not something you can reasonably predict will be good enough to convince a jury. It would be a big risk to take, because if you go for all of them, you might get none of them.
Ultimately, I think they made the right call in turning the people they did, since they all were directly involved and could firmly testify to Bankman-Fried’s involvement. It was a relatively...
Ultimately, I think they made the right call in turning the people they did, since they all were directly involved and could firmly testify to Bankman-Fried’s involvement. It was a relatively complex financial crimes case. Those are notoriously hard for prosecutors to win.
But hopefully the co-conspirators still get lengthy sentences.

It’s not just you. I’ve notice hitting paywalls a lot more often lately. I’m not planning to ever pay for this kind of content as there are so many free sources to get news from. It’s annoying to follow a link only to have to navigate back again. But I just checked and this has a “paywall” tag, so maybe I can filter them out.
Filtering is indeed possible. However, it’s really unfortunate I will then also miss these posts when someone has commented with a free alternative, like RNG has done in this thread. So I’m not...

Also, I recommend searching Google News for the best article you can find rather than posting the first news article you see, but not everyone remembers to do that and it’s not required.
I think the closest thing might be under terms of use: But how this applies to archive sites seems more informal? Maybe someone else remembers.

Alternatively you can install the Bypass Paywalls Clean browser extension (for Firefox or Chrome). It's very good. Someone else mentioned archive links, which are a good fallback if this doesn't work, and your browser may have a built-in Reader Mode which can sometimes help too. Between these three tools you should be able to avoid all but the most egregious walls.

Thanks, great suggestions that I’m going to check out on desktop. What I’m mostly using is my iOS device and there I’ve been using reader mode and 12ft.io. Reader mode only works sometimes and 12ft is gone, so I’m still looking for a good solution there.
What I much rather would like to see is fewer paywalled articles being posted. It’s unrealistic to assume everybody is paying for, or is going to pay for, random articles being posted on Tildes.

It was exactly one year ago that CoinDesk published their seminal reporting indicating that Alameda was insolvent. Just how quickly that turned into the downfall of a company that had just purchased the naming rights to Miami Heat’s arena is astounding.
If ever there was someone who dug their own legal grave…
It’s a shame they gave so many of his (knowing) accomplices plea deals/immunity though.

Here's a link for those without an FT subscription. From the Verge
Thanks. Is it just me or are more paywalled articles being posted these days?

Oh good catch. Thats super courteous of OP for including this. If this etiquette becomes the norm, I'm OK with using a filter as well

Which rule is this referencing? I can't find it in the docs.

Didn't this like just begin?
The trials been going for a few weeks. The jury deliberated for only five hours though.
According to Wikipedia, the trial started October 3. Yes, that seems pretty quick compared to some trials.
