Yep, aside from the fact that photography isn't allowed in US Federal Court, the most obvious sign is that she and the microphone are facing away from the judge - the positioning makes no sense.
That's the classic AI photo issue where "man looking at the moon" is a man looking at the camera with the moon behind him.
> She has agreed to a 10-year ban from holding executive roles in public or crypto companies.
Judging by how Alemeda research was provided with as much money as they wanted with zero interest rate attached and she still ran the company into the ground, I don't think the ban will hurt her too much.
This really goes to show that most hedge funds are successful because of the infrastructure built around them rather than the people.
You need both to be successful, but good systems and infrastructure trump good people most of the time. RenTech is the best example of this.
No one is going to trust her to run a Baskin Robbins, much less put her in a role with any responsibility now.

So you can hold an executive role in a wholly owned private subsidiary of a public company, or hold a role in a Cayman Island company instead of a US company and have the Cayman entity buy the US entity. Rules like this don't actually do anything.
Bankman-Fried is doing 25 years in prison. That's the average prison sentence for murder. The message being sent is that you should turn on your partners in crime now and save yourself a lot of suffering in the long run.
I don’t see her as any less guilty than Sam. If I recall, she directly was involved in the movement of people’s funds into Alameda - that was not something she got tricked into by some separate criminal mastermind. That’s her. Even if she cooperated, she should be serving 10+ years. Otherwise what’s the deterrent when you can mostly get away with large white collar crimes.
While we’re at it, Musk should also face charges for related fraudulent claims about self driving, battery tech that went nowhere, robotaxis, and other things. But he likely won’t. In general, these crimes are treated far too leniently for the rich and connected.
The counter argument is if you don't incentivize flipping enough, it is the prisoners' dilemma: the option of everyone keeping their mouth shut and potentially going free is too attractive compared to flipping.
It is just so insane that the web is just full of 100% AI generated slop.
The title image is AI and presumably the text is AI generated, this appears to be true for everything on that website. Just 100%, everything AI generated, likely zero human oversight and fully automated.
And it even has auto translation which turns the whole page into literal nonsense, but surely looks good for SEO.
This is… an interesting spin.
> She has agreed to a 10-year ban from holding executive roles in public or crypto companies.
Yeah, I don’t think this will be hard for her. Anyone involved in FTX is radioactive. Whoever negotiated this for her as a concession is brilliant.
It doesn't bode well for the rest of the article.

Why you want to remains a mystery to me.
She’s a felon, banned “from holding executive roles in public or crypto companies,” penniless and probably fighting lawsuits for the rest of her life.
While we’re at it, Musk should also face charges for related fraudulent claims about self driving, battery tech that went nowhere, robotaxis, and other things. But he likely won’t. In general, these crimes are treated far too leniently for the rich and connected.
