Judge Lewis A. Kaplan ordered the former billionaire remanded after prosecutors pushed to have his bail revoked, citing violations that included Bankman-Fried’s admitted usage of VPN software that he said was to watch an NFL game and the judge’s view that he had attempted to tamper with witnesses “at least twice.”

Fuckin finally. So, so tired of every white collar shitbro being afforded every opportunity to keep being a shitstain.

Everyone from fuckin SBF to Donald Fuckin Trump.

Stop glad handing these pricks and treat them like you would any other criminal, worthless fucking "justice" system.

Regular ass people can be beaten and arrested based on cops getting the wrong person, and then when you justifiably "resisted" because you're fucking innocent, it means you'll have "resisting arrest" charges following you the rest of your fucking life.

Yet these pricks can make calls about when they'll turn themselves in.

If he violated terms of bail and committed a crime in doing so, that should result in bail forfeiture. Bail was $250 million.
