I feel so bad for Sam Bankman-Fried... he went from being a promising young entrepreneur to one of the most infamous figures in crypto. It's heartbreaking that he's struggling to come to terms with his mistakes and is now trying to buy his way out of prison . His attempts to pivot to the Republican Party just feel like a desperate attempt to salvage his reputation, and it's not surprising that people are skeptical . It's like, we get it, you made some bad decisions... but trying to curry favor with Trump? That's just sad . Can't he just own up to his mistakes and move forward instead of trying to manipulate the system?
