  • Actually, as great as Lewis writes and as acclaimed as his career is, he completely failed with SBF and fell for the con. He was so enamored with SBF he even told friends to “buy whatever Sam says” at one point. The case later releasing the slack chats contradict his book heavily and while it’s common for Lewis to cast controversial subjects in a positive light (Wolf of Wall Street), this one was over the top and a bit of a disaster.

    In fact, Behind the Bastards did a great 2 part podcast this month specifically on SBF and Lewis’ embedding in his camp. It’s fascinating.

  • I’m just an outsider, never posted in here before, but I saw the old post and thought nothing of it other than “wild idea”. Now I see this community being dragged as unhelpful or mean to newbies when that was NOT at all what I saw in that thread. Sure, a few usual WTF or “you might wanna change your input” responses but that’s just how the Internet responds to unusual things.

    Seriously, I had to go back to see if I missed actual meanness but I had to hunt for the thread, now deleted perhaps from embarrassment? Still, overall it looks like great responses until OP starts getting chippy, fighting users and just overall snarky. But hey, it happens.

    But now, a full day later, the same OP makes a meme that continues to paint the base in a negative light AND is totally clueless as to why, with multiple disclaimers saying “no, I’m cool, this is fun!”. This is the epitome of JUST STOP. You goofed, you did not read the room correct at all and now it’s time to disappear, not continue to explain yourself as some misunderstood person who means well. Please, for the sake of the Internet, we get it.
