If you think you know thing anything mention me there.
This is an American forum thing.. we digress at times because of circumstances.
You are an obnoxious personae by the way. Look for cash to warm you over winter .. Ill be slaughtering goats, ducks and cows at will in broad sunlight while you shudder why Putin invaded Ukraine. over your next winter

You are stuck in-between reality and becoming brainwashed. You will soon go to the other side.

I assume you mean SBF. Who told you he is on stalemate?

kkins25:
Oh really, how can you tell?? plus, how do i know you aren't brainwashed yourself?? We've seen alot of that on the demo-cats recently.

Ibime:


I can tell from the half baked points you made about SBF which are straight out of misinformation portals as if SBF is being defended by anyone and won't get his just due if found to be breaking the law

Bankruptcy process of a company takes time to establish where the assets and liabilities are, and.if the directors have committed any fraud in the course of their work

Enron filed for bankruptcy in Dec 2001, their CFO wasn't arrested until October 2002

FTX has just been assigned a CEO to oversee this process who is the same CEO that unravelled the mess at Enron

Secondly, there is little legal framework for Crypto. SBF executed a flywheel scheme which while being unethical may not be covered by laws as little or no laws have been passed for Crypto. Scheme illustrated below. To actually nab SBF, they will need more than flywheel scheme and need to establish whether he has transferred creditors assets to himself, which I'm sure they will be eager to do. The FBI has put in an extradition request to Bahamas for questioning. Note that questioning is different from charging

Similar scheme was executed by Do Kwon with Luna in Singapore which collapsed in March or so, and till date, Do Kwon has not been charged by Singapore authorities because there is little legal framework to do so.

So everything you typed only lets me know what your information sources and social media algorithms are leading you too, which is why I say you are on the borderline. A simple counterargument to the fallacy you typed is that FTX co CEO is equally a major Republican donor and has not been charged either. Any charging will be done after accounting investigations and audit trails, just like any other financial investigation, not because your misinformation sources tell you "he is at a stalemate"

It is really curiosity. My dad is a Republican. Donated to Trump and all. No-one in the family really talks to him. So I'm always trying to understand him. So curious as to why. We can chat off this topic if you want.

PDPGuy:
The appointment of a Special Counsel by AG Garland was the smart political/legal move. This is because it would have been highly problematic for a Biden DOJ to indict Biden's (or another Democrat's) potential 2024 opponent, as it would have created an appearance of bias/conflict of interest.

Havertz10:
Trump is social vehicle that is used to express displeasure at status quo, there are so many dynamics at play but i’m guessing that your dad is black so it will most likely be the religious/ conservative angle that makes trump appealing to him.

adamusuleiman11:
MTG said she and other MAGAt Republicans have a plan to stop the special counsel:

"the special counsel which is nothing but a democratic party campaign arm to campaign against Donald Trump who is running for President in 2024.. They can tell Jack Smith he is not going to get much of a paycheck. It's going to be real simple. We are not going to do this. That's it. We're gonna stop them and we are gonna do it through the power of the purse "

raumdeuter:


Thanks for the explanation. I have been trying to figure out what it means and how soon can they conclude

Yeah, she should have spent more time learning how governments work. The House is 1/2 of that purse, the Senate is the other. No such bill would pass the Senate. And to defund the Special Prosecutor they would most likely have to defund the whole Justice department. Good Luck with that.

IjeBos:


1.) I've been in the US since I was 5. Studied diverse subject matter (from Huminites to Astro Physics) at excellent schools. And there is just so much I'm still understanding about the US History, law and culture. You haven't been to the US, I assume haven't formally studied its histroy, don't have an inkling about it's laws and don't understand the culture fully, yet are parroting sites from people who probably wouldn't let you (I assume you're a Black Man) date their daughter. Make that make sense.

2.) You live in Nigeria, in the midst of Economic(changed Dollar at 900 two weeks ago) and Security turmoil and yet you're investing so much time/energy posting about the US, a country you've never been to? Make that make sense to me.

The Lice have spoken just like the Oldman still trying to find his way to lagos to visit his Mother

Obrigardo:
A War crimes prosecutor in the Hague is going to be responsible for an indictment of Criminal trump.
Justice will come at last and criminal trump will go to jail. Thank God.

Mintum:

Haaaaa, is SonofLincoln still lost in transit?

benalvino3:


he is o. the old cargo took a cheap flight same time last year to come to visit his mother... till today he is still making the journey. Never book a 2 dollar flight

benalvino3:


All these plenty of things you typed yet you didn't refute anything Kkins25 said. SBF stole money, He donated to the government in power.

it is free speech you guys were talking about.

no one ask you to Do voltron

Bolded is not established

What is established at this stage is he overleveraged

When bolded is established, he would be charged

benalvino3:


It is established, you are not informed. He uses the Customer deposits and trades without their consent... he even loaned out their money.
Customer Deposit, he sends the money to alameda for trading without their consent in Violation of FTX own guidelines.

The Guy is a con artist who uses Media and charity to build credibility as well as Buying colluding with Politicians.

Caroline his appointed CEO Alameda research has no experience or pedigree to hold such an important role in the company.
the company has no accountant
no board of directors
they don't even have any money management system.

He Founded FTE manufactures the FTT token.

Ibeme:


All the above is true, do you think your bank does not trade with your deposits or loan them out?

Wait, let the authorities gather evidence against him that will stick properly, none of the above is going to put him away. They need to find illegality that will put him away for a long time, not poor ethics, poor leadership or poor capitalisation/money management.

My hypothesis has been, Trump appeals to people who are scared of losing power. White Males etc. They are scared of losing Power to minorities and women. I think that is where my dad fits in. He's not white but a successful man. And so he enjoys the power the social construct of the past, esp. Nigeria's past affords him. He sees the loss of power from his own selfish vantage point and wants to cling on to it esp. when it comes to women. Look at all the misogyny and sexism on this board. It all stems from the believe that women are not equal to men or men are divinely superior. That is what my dad believes. He's not shy about telling his children or his wife that he is our Lord and we should obey him. lol. There's also the fact that he got his. And doesn't want anyone to displace that. What's sad and frustrating is that the Republican policies he advocates , if successful would directly harm him. He has a very very good pension (I think it was 95% of his salary when he retired) and his salary was very good. And so it's amazing watching him cheer on Republicans as they talk about scaling back pensions or scaling back Medicare, which he is on as well.

Our parents like that, it’s an archaic social norm that our generation would do away with.

Most people on Nairaland don’t know shit, ideally a woman wants to be affectionate, it’s their nature, we men abused that by turning them into useful assets, thankfully a significant proportion of women are getting educated, becoming more self aware and assertive, things will improve, ignore those people, they will adapt, they don’t have a choice

At the end of the day, if a woman loves you, she would easily afford you the same respect and attention, you don’t need a society norm to force her to give you that.

I don’t know how old your dad is but the measures that republicans are proposing doesn’t completely eliminate social welfare broadly, they just want to limit the number of users.

Mintum:

Is this another Asiwere SonofLincoln/Abbeybailey in the building? What is all this rubbish of I've been in the US since 5? And so what? You are on a Nigerian platform and on a thread specifically opened for Nigerians interested in foreign politics to discuss it and yet you are whining about Nigerians discussing foreign politics. Is that not very stupid of you? If you don't want to see Nigerians discussing foreign politics then get the hell off Nairaland and go to a non Nigerian forum.
