  1. Judge: you client owes the government millions. Lawyer: Your honour, X gunna give it to ya.

  3. Defendant: I didn't know about X Prosecution: Could you read this message you sent a year before the crash? Defendant: Oh don't worry about X. I've got X totally under control. I know all about X.

  5. Judge: While the court finds the facts of the motion to be accurate, these facts alone are not enough for the motion to succeed. Lawyer: But your honour, she's really dumb.

  6. Eron was a byzantine labyrinth of complex somehow legal accounting practices. FTX is like the equivalent of a troops of chimps spending a long weekend trashing an office.

  7. Introvert gang: nightmare?

  8. I issue is that people don't understand what foreign aid is. It's about furthering the political aims of the donor country. Maybe you want the receiving country to adopt a policy which might be unpopular in that country. Maybe you're looking to support your own local industry. Or you might be looking to outsource a problem to an country in a way which is cheaper for all concerned, but it's never out of the goodness of the country's heart.

  9.  @Lowmanification  have you seen Wallstreet Bets? They'll wipe themselves out, post it, laugh about it and do it all again.

  10. Honestly if you are basing financial decisions on the advice of people famous for being funny, throwing a football really well or being professionally good-looking, it's your own fault. I feel sorry for them, but a fool and their money and all that.

  11. Weren't both his parents on the board?

  12. It was a great moment of racial equality in the US as it showed that a man would no longer be judged by the colour of his skin but the contents of his wallet.

  13.  @Rogue_Leader  sympathy points from the judge.

  14.  @benjaminmadrigalperez9010  I can't imagine anyone deciding whether to do heroin or not on the basis of free needles.

  15.  @avs813  so was it like an awkward stage in the legal system's development, between recognising that mental illness is a thing which needs to be considered and how to fully considered it?

  16.  @donmiller2908  I don't know. Wolf of Wallstreet guy seems to be doing alright for himself.

  17. He befriended him first too. Where the hell does America find these people? It just makes no sense on any level. It's like a parody of a satirical take on US cops but it's real.

  18. @Emmet Proxy  I remember the Elon fans saying the same thing when experts on YouTube pointed out that his "bots on Twitter" claim was a non-starter in court.

  19. ​ @FifinatorKlon  what country?

  20.  @avs813  oh ok. Thanks for the explanation.

  21. I would like to see the courts take a tougher stance on misuse of the word literally.

  22. I even seen a clip of a TV weatherman working the Not Like Us lyrics into his weather report. That song was EVERYWHERE

  23. I know you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover but reading the titles of the books they wrote..... well, it kinda gives you an idea of Sam's mentality. Also his dad is taking this year off work apparently.

  24.  @ARBITOR12  I think the difference is that the Rittenhouse case could have gone very differently depending on which state it happened in. In a state without "stand your ground laws" it very well could have resulted in manslaughter charges. Will's actions however are not self-defence in any state.

  25. ​ @lolilollolilol7773  in the video that exposed all this there is a Honey employee talking about it on a podcast. It was 100% a deliberate feature. They have openly bragged about most of the worst stuff they have done.

  26. ​ @bluester7177  you seem to be mixing up monogamy and cheating. Open relationships are fine if all parties are aware and agree. Cheating however does make you a bad person. It's deceitful and betrays the trust of a person you call is a loved one. Humans don't really fall clearly on either side of the monogamy thing biologically speaking. But if you want to use that to defend cheating then what do you think about all the other terrible things that are part of human nature? Everything from murder to SA to war have been observed in nature, including in our closest relatives.

  32. ​ @Dump_Truck_Pud  it's illegal to deny coverage, but they do it anyway. Sometimes the people give up, sometimes they settle for less and sometimes it's too late by the time all the appealing is done.

  33.  @astrobullivant5908  Alec's was completely accidental. Doesn't make it right by any means but it does put it in a very different light. The Robert Wagner thing I only have a passing idea about but, you know, it's Hollywood. "Tragic deaths" with zero consequences wasn't rare. Hell rape has only just become a no-no for them. Another thing is this was in public, if they can keep things out of the public spotlight it all gets swept under the rug, one hand washes the other and all that.

  36. That is sort of a rule the Republic of China (Taiwan) was a permanent member. The vote to transfer the per seat to the Peoples Republic of China (China) exuded the RoC. There was an attempt to exude Russia after Crimea however China vetoed it on the grounds that such talk should include Russia, after which Russia vetoed the resolution.

  37. Insurance companies that don't assess and manage risk properly do. There are insurance companies that make money while not being a bunch of cunts.

  38. Idk, everyone was saying the same about Elizabeth Holmes and she's more than a decade.

  39. Whether it's like "giving dynamite to children" or not is a point for debate but it's certainly no different to the general financial sector. You know what? I take that back, they're not the same. Wallstreet Bets has self-awareness and knows how ridiculous they are.

  42. It reminds me of that Clark and Dawe skit about the European debt crisis. Bryan: so they lost the lot? John: Oh no, Bryan. Much more than that, a hundred times more than the lot.

  46.  @Sinaeb  Elon Musk, for all his flaws, has delivered working products. Tesla for example has issues with quality control but they are selling cars that work.
    3
  47.  @kevjtnbtmglr  they had a working prototype when he got into Tesla. It wasn't good or something that could be put into production but it did exist. The other thing is that no one was disputing that electric cars are physically possible.

  48. ​ @cristlejohnson4900  don't you guys do that in civics (I think it's called). If they weren't listening the first time, they probably won't listen the second time. I think the problem is Americans needing to be half a para legal just to defend basic rights.

  49. ​ @occamraiser  if you look at the UK without London it's a middle income country based on GDP per capita.

  50.  @aaronleverton4221  not necessarily. If they weren't subject to record keeping under Bahama law and as they were only registered as a money exchange in the US, it could be argued that they had no legal obligation to do so.

  52. Also many other place use firearms for pest control.

  53. It's going to be 3 separate class action suits imo. Creators, consumers and businesses. Creators: basically reasons in the video Consumers: Honey made deals with businesses to not give consumers the best discount. Businesses: Honey overstated the value of discounts at time for some businesses.

  54. ​ @dr.archaeopteryx5512  cheating happens for many different reasons. All of which in some way involve the cheater being a terrible person. It's not really relevant to her, other than the fact a selfish and inconsiderate person will likely show other similar behaviour.

  55. I love that they were using quick books

  56. ​ @Zenith_Star69  Tesla's half a bubble stock. A good chunk of that stock price is part of the market's belief in Musk. In that situation you don't call for his head. You smile give a thumbs up and slowly back away to the nearest exit. Quietly selling is the best course of action.

  59. I'm less shocked to know Softbank was an investor.

  60. From what I understand, the 10% guarantee was put up by two 3rd parties. No idea who they are and that information is currently sealed.

  61. Look at who was investing. They were rich, they were famous but there wasn't a medical or engineering degree between them. As more famous people invested, potential investors could suffer from the fear of missing out. And the cycle became self perpetuating.

  62.  @xxstealerxx  don't underestimate how big of a role her looks played in all of this. She's probably in the goldilocks zone of attractive enough for people to want to bang her but not too attractive to be taken seriously. There's been a few studies about hotness and success in the business world.

  63.  @Dan55888  aren't you thinking of Nikola Motors? Named for the same inventer as Tesla but otherwise not related to the company.

  64. Luckily we have summer at different times of the year so we can help each other out.

  65.  @astrobullivant5908  oh sorry, I wasn't excusing Hollywood's actions, more contextualising the way things that don't damage anyone's "brand" aren't treated as serious as things that do. It's kind of like organised crime in a way. Morals (or the view of them) are very different from the world you and I live in and if something can be handled internally (ie without the public becoming aware) it's far less serious.

  66. Was looking for this. Loved this show as a kid.

  67. It's an awkward situation for the DA. Realistically it's not a big deal and things like this get dropped all the time. On the other hand this was very public, there's evidence and a public perception of this being another case of one law for the rich and another for everyone else.

  68. That's my understanding too. Well at least the bulk of it.

  71. Patrick Boyle has a video on his channel covering the financial side of this mess. Edit: if you're confused because it sounds too dumb to be real, don't worry, the situation is really that dumb.

  72. ​ @cyjanek7818  the funny thing is that those who could still remember the British Empire were the most staunch supporters of the European project. Because those who were that old remembered WW2.

  73. ​ @E3_Kruger  Texas? Yes. The rest, almost all no. Texas receives less Federal funding than is generates. Nearly all the other red states however receive more money from the Federal government.

  74.  @idontneedaname318  yeah but they didn't abuse anyone in public and make the academy look bad. Actions don't have consequences if you can keep it out of the press.

  75.  @TheBushdoctor68  this kinda feels like the paparazzi recorded her singing in the shower and now claim it's their song.

  76.  @silverXnoise  exuding or limiting the rights of those actively engaged in criminal activity is nothing new. So it's a bit of a stretch to claim criminals will own surveillance footage.

  77. If you love those two, cheak out Patrick Boyle's channel where he explains it from a financial perspective. SBF and the gang are just as dumb as they are from a legal point of view.

  78. Two thoughts. One is that he is a broken man trying to hold it together after everything that has come out. Or two it's an ego thing. This was meant to be his big night. The night that his career is capped off with an award that shows he's not only a popular actor but a great one too. And we felt Chris undercut his big night by "disrespecting him". My guess is 3 parts the first one, 1 part the second. With all the turmoil in his personal life his professional success was holding him together. While it is absolutely no excuse for his actions, honestly I hope he gets the help he needs.

  79. Probably the same with anyone who is a successful outliner in any field.

  80. I think for a lot of people while Macca's was negligent, she's still an idiot for the way she got coffee on herself. One act of stupidly doesn't wash away the other in most peoples minds.

  81. OBJECTION: @15:25 the testing takes place at a facility owned by Wayne Enterprises which is (among other things) a military contractor so there's a good chance the testing there was conducted lawfully.

  84. ​@Vesta_the_Lesser I get there anger but at least one of the former writers and the star of the show were trying to save it. At the end of the day, it's Netflix putting people who don't care, like or understand the source material in charge of these shows. They should be hating on the studio more imo

  85. With all the VC and hedge funds throwing money at him, I don't think boomers and gen X can take a victory lap on this one.

  86. I think there's more to this. Twitter will probably keep losing money so the lawsuit is a way to transfer that blame from Musk to others. The main goal is probably to create an "alternative" narrative for the future failure of Twitter as a business.

  87. I think this is the superpower of a great legal team. They punish mistakes and misconduct by police and prosecution.

  90. ​ @dreadkaiser1058  the problem (as Patrick Boyle points out) with Musk's logic there is that Apple and Google offer that now, control the two mobile operating systems and are trillion dollar companies. It's hard to see the 15th most popular social media company overtaking them. Also the "everything app" idea isn't new, China has them.

  91.  @Gabriel-jx4or  damage them? They all but lost their customer base, blew up their coming IPO, are facing class actions and have Congressmen asking the Justice Department to investigate. I'm not sure how much more damage he could've done.

  97. Worth remembering that this all started with a great analysis from u/deepfuckingvalue. He put a good case that the stock was undervalued. You want to know who else thought that? Michael Berry. Gamestop also got a new management team, all the while the hedge funds shorting the stock doubled down.

  98. Objection. Prejudicial (I think). It maybe dangerous to give regular people access to options trading but is it any worse than giving Wallstreet access to it? Wallstreet has shown time and time again that they will act irresponsibly regardless of consequences to the greater economy, how is WSB any worse?

  104. Late to the party but is taking the L on a civil case a good legal strategy if what would be disclosed in that case risk opening you up to further civil or criminal proceedings?

  105. I'm not sure I understand the insurance regulations properly. (Non-American) Are you saying that people get charged the same in California regardless of actual risk? So someone living in a city would pay the same premiums for bush fire as someone living in the up in the hills?

  107. Fire-fighter: Hey Fire! It was an accident. Fire: What? Fire-fighter: Starting you was an accident. They didn't mean to do it. Fire: Oh shit. My bad. I just thought, you know, with all the heat and wind, plus the explosives... Fire-fighter: Us too mate. We thought the same. Haha Fire: Oh well, what can you do hey. Haha. I'll just put myself out.

  110.  @MrVovansim  pension funds aren't going around yoloing their money on massive shorts. In fact a few have ton well from the reddit rallies, including one which was saved from a $300M loss. Maybe a little less pearl clutching and a little more facts next time.

  114. The guy brought in to clean up the FTX mess was the same guy who did Enron and in terms of corporate governance, he said it's much worse. Patrick Boyle has a few videos on the topic. Bernie Madoff's lawyer has been interviewed by a couple of news channels and those are on YouTube too.
