> When you've got personal wealth in the hundreds of millions, yeah, "hollywood plots" are indeed a concern.

SBF doesn't have that, though. He lost access to FTX's funds. He doesn't have anything he can give to anyone that would motivate them to do that for him. No money, no influence, no ability to reward anyone in any way. He is poison and nobody wants anything to do with him.



You say this after his allies put themselves on the hook for $250 million just so he could be out of prison pending trial.


They don’t have the money either. What they did is more like cosigning a kid’s car loan. Nobody actually bought a bail bond.


I was speaking to the issue (that you raised) of whether SBF has allies motivated to help him. On that issue, I responded that there were people still willing to have their entire net worths wiped out to help him.

Whether they actually have some arbitrarily higher figure is not relevant to that point.
