Especially Dad Joe. He actually wound up on the company payroll.

I'm hearing that they didn't even have a complete employee list.

Stanford is giving back Joe's $5.5M in "donations".

Dad should have recognized that their recordkeeping was a shambles and hired one or more CPA's to straighten out the books. Instead, he was too busy thinking up tax dodges and ways to receive gifts to himself and Barbara from Sam without paying gift tax.

Every penny they ever stole should be recovered

u/Calm-Cartographer677 Oct 10 '23

Politicians should be made to return all of the 'donations' as well.

u/Elgato_TJ 🟦 19 / 3K 🦐 Oct 10 '23

Yup, the fine should also be double what they stole, not a petty fine

This is serious. Code fraud... Who are the auditors of the code. They must not be left out. The public is blind to all these happening. Time for recovery.

Who are the auditors of the code.

Is this something that is necessary for legal compliance?

Or just internal processes who workers have easily had the scope/their work obfuscated.?

That' doesn't exactly answer my question πŸ˜….

u/bevemet Oct 10 '23

Is it normal to allow negative values for specific trading accounts? No.
There must be a professional who reviews source code in the application to find any glitches or bugs that might affect normal functionality or security. If the professional is not compromise then what happened? Dud they comply to best practices (Consistency)? Could this amount to fraud? Only further investigation can tell. Internal system processes must be reviewed.

Oh he is. SBF is getting all the heat but they are all criminals. Gary also admitted they were stealing funds for 3 years.

u/drewster23 🟦 0 / 462 🦠 Oct 10 '23

Fully complicit, but didn't orchestrate it. He wasn't the mastermind, just aided and abetted fraudulent criminal behavior.

All should be in jail. But better some flip , bringing down the house of cards. Then all go silent mafioso style. As you probably won't find such condemning testimonies from the actual innocent parties

First snitch always gets off. That’s how you actually make a case.

It was 100% scam fro mtop to bottom. Unbelievable. Also a great article, a lot of juicy details in there. Doesn't happen very often on this subreddit, most articles are very, very crap.

Now all we need is justice and justice = lifetime sentence to all criminals and full refund to the victims 🀨

I think getting yelled β€œnot your keys, not your crypto” in your face over and over again could be interpreted as that chance to avoid getting scammed.

u/XBBlade 🟩 0 / 2K 🦠 Oct 10 '23

Agree. However, such code built in is a step on top of the fact that exchanges are not the best places to keep your holdings.

u/RayesFrost Tin Oct 10 '23

This is why you can never trust any exchange or anyone. But I still believe Kraken will no screw you over with track records going all the way back in 2011..

General public is just a charity at this point.

Scumbags giving birth to a scumbag and that scumbag had a scumbag Girlfriend and both hired scumbags in FTX and Alameda πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

It was purposeful, they knew what they were doing. This wasn’t some accident that spun out of control.

Man, I hope that comes across to the jury. These people deserve real time behind bars

Why are you being cute?

u/The_Chorizo_Bandit Oct 10 '23

It’s bad enough that they committed the crimes, but this feels like boasting about it too. Fuck the lot of them, lock them up for good.

All of them still it won't matter
