I'm curious what kind of plea deal Caroline Elison got.

When she gets 18 months to his 20 years, I think the two of them will be used in Goofus & Gallant-style comics in law school to demonstrate the importance of shutting up and letting your lawyer do the talking.

More like why it's better to be a small fish than a big fish when the legal proceedings start.

Right. Never be the top top guy. Don't be the fastest car on the road. And shut the f up Friday [0]. I think he thought he could do a media blitz but stealing a bunch of other people's money for ones gambling addiction is generally frowned upon.

The charges against SBF add up to over 100 years.

I'm guessing a, you're still going to prison, but it will be for a few years instead of potentially your entire life.

Wasn't Alameda the entity responsible for losing most of the money? Seems wrong that you could get less than a double digit sentance for that - even if you roll over for the prosecution.

Losing money is legal. Stealing money is not. I have a hard time believing she didn't know where the money she was losing came from, though.
