Reply to comment by defiCosmos in Judge kept FTX execs’ plea deals secret to get founder to US by grab-n-g0

In the US, with his accounts frozen, wearing an ankle monitor, with not only all of his money but his parent's money too locked up in a bail agreement, and his face plastered everywhere so even if he managed to go on the run everybody would recognize him immediately.

But sure he is "free".

I will take that over being "free" in jail waiting conviction any day of the week.

Being free but in a shitty personal situation are not mutually exclusive. And he doesn't have the freedom to run and avoid consequences. No one has that freedom.

How do they know he can't access keys to some stolen funds stashed somewhere? I would have thought anyone facing the rest of their life in prison with potential access to hundreds of millions of dollars is a flight risk regardless of conditions.

They don't but if he tries he'll fuck himself even harder. The hidden money proves intent, as does running, and it's not really that easy to "disappear".

He's going to prison for the rest of his life anyway, might as well have a go.

They don't. Even money says he's skips town then mysteriously """dies""" building an Effective Altruism Orphanage (tm).

But he has access to hundreds of millions of not more in crypto.

I've said this in other threads, but let's consider the case of Carlos Ghosn. While already being guilty of a crime, he was able to hire an ex Navy Seal strike team to smuggle him out of Japan into a country without extradition. His crime was also 1/100th the size of SBF.

There's very much a non zero chance he skips bail with his parents to the UAE or Qatar or whatever. Multiple crypto people have pulled disappearing acts.
