Comment on Why didn't SBF flee?
adespoton@lemmy.ca 6 months agoNo, you’re still missing it. It was a surprise to him, because his world view stated that what he had done should make the people in power overlook the laws he’d broken.
It wasn’t a surprise to most people. He made the wrong kinds of mistakes.

He thought his wealth would buy his freedom… interesting point of view. He should of known better.

Yeah he really should’ve known better. I have to think that if he came from money / influence the folks pulled strings to get him into MIT. I guess if his GPA was high then ok he is good at mathy type stuff. Otherwise, a guy can graduate from MIT with a D average lol. Anyway, it seems he didn’t really understand the intricacies of other relevant areas needed to get away with his scam, didn’t develop the connections and power, and didn’t think he needed to, I guess?
