This is the official court audio, posted by the Court of Appeals on November 5, 2025. I am reposting today because the Court of Appeals has handed down a ruling today affirming the criminal conviction. Below are my thoughts from the day of the argument on appeal, and I continue to hope there can be an amicable resolution among the parties:—The appellate argument is in the appeal of Sam Bankman-Fried's criminal conviction which proceeded, before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The argument was scheduled for 20 minutes or so and went beyond an hour. The bench was a hot bench, with the judges on the panel prepared to ask a lot of questions.Maybe the case will be resolved consensually?The appellant's side, SBF's counsel, argued to the appellate judges that more evidence of advice of counsel would have changed the jury's decision to convict. The judges were skeptical.But the appellee, the government, had a hard time justifying the forfeiture order against Sam Bankman-Fried, which was part of his punishment.There is a disconnect between the presentation of massive losses in the record of the criminal trial relative to representations of customers being paid in full in the FTX bankruptcy. This was discussed at some length during the argument today. I am not sure it is correct that the FTX customers who are to receive (the low) cash value of Crypto as of 11/11/2022 (the FTX bankruptcy filing date, on Veterans Day, during Crypto Winter) are expected to receive the current value of the Crypto or more in the future. So maybe a fact check of the FTX bankruptcy plan would be helpful.More generally, how well the FTX bankruptcy is going/supposed to have gone in terms of paying customers in full seems to undermine at least the forfeiture order. It is not unusual that there is interplay between a criminal case and a bankruptcy case/appeal, proceeding on separate tracks but inter-related factually.I think there could possibly be a motion for new trial at the district court level regardless of the outcome of the appeal, based on the ability to seek a new trial where there is newly discovered evidence… where the interests of Justice require, etc. even where there was a lot of evidence at trial, evidence in support of a jury verdict.The appellate argument today raises questions like how much does acting on advice of counsel count? Is a person who has lawyers acting more in good faith than a person who doesn't have lawyers? Like can a person hire lawyers to set up a business or help as it grows and be excused from criminal responsibility? If so - to what extent? One view expressed during the oral argument today was that it may depend on whether the lawyers know what the client was up to, but that is not something that would usually come into evidence at trial because of privilege issues.This was a fascinating argument. I don't know if it is what SBF wanted to be represented to the court. Is this how he was told his case would be presented? Or does he have the same problem again, where the FTX bankruptcy case was allegedly described to him as planned a certain way, but then the case went another way and he was arrested and blamed for the collapse of FTX.Wasn't he told that a bankruptcy would help liquidity, to monetize FTX assets so that customers could be paid? And then he handed over control of the company, which he laments. The pressure must have been very great, with the other FTX executives blaming him and a bankruptcy presented as a way to stabilize FTX's business and avoid customer losses… and lawyers telling him what to do.I am concerned for pressure SBF is under from lawyers - BECAUSE he does rely on advice of counsel, now as he must - and his emotional health and well being must be under so much pressure.With potential for the SBF case to be heard by the US Supreme Court or a retrial or a pardon, the stakes are high. And with billions at stake in the forfeiture order, based on losses at time of trial that have been reduced, there seems a lot of room for compromise and come to an agreement that resolves the appeal.

SBF asks for a presidential pardon. Sam Bankman-Fried formally filed a clemency application asking President Trump for a pardon while serving his 25-year sentence. Trump told The New York Times in January that SBF shouldn't count on the same.

David Z. Morris is a financial journalist and author of Stealing the Future, a post-trial account of the FTX collapse and the effective altruism ideology behind it.He joins host Aaron Stanley to discuss what the criminal trial revealed that earlier books missed, why Michael Lewis's account functionally serves as a defense of the fraud, and how the ideology that shaped Sam Bankman-Fried continues to circulate under new names.Morris was part of the CoinDesk team that broke the story and later covered the trial for Protos.Topics include the SBF truther movement, speculative but documented questions about Sullivan & Cromwell's intelligence connections, Caroline Ellison's story, stimulant culture at FTX, and how effective altruism has rebranded as "abundance" and "effective accelerationism."Morris argues that EA gave SPF an ethical framework that explicitly justified stealing customer funds - and that the same logic is still being sold to engineers in Silicon Valley today.

Crypto policy in Washington has gone from punchline to power center. David sits down with Ron Hammond, Head of Policy and Advocacy at Wintermute, for a rare inside look at how crypto actually moves through DC: the SBF era, Elizabeth Warren's anti-crypto army, Gary Gensler's SEC, bank lobby pressure, Trump's crypto conflicts, the Clarity Act fight, and why privacy and self-custody may be the next major battleground. ---

For the agenda for the hearing, see the amended agenda filed the day of the hearing, docket number 35618 here:https://restructuring.ra.kroll.com/ftx/Home-DocketInfoThe court's ruling granting the objection to the claim gets into the FTX fraud, how people lost savings, some their families' life savings due to the FTX fraud for which Sam Bankman-Fried was convicted following trial by jury, and sentenced to a 25 year sentence. SBF has appealed his criminal conviction via counsel, seeking a new trial before a new judge.I believe Melamed is typically pronounced Me-LAH-med, not as it is pronounced by the court. The New York City based federal courts tend to do a better job with Jewish surnames than the Delaware federal courts. FTX's bankruptcy proceedings are ongoing in Delaware. SBF is imprisoned in California.MATTERS GOING FORWARD at this May 14, per the amended court agenda:FTX Recovery Trust's Objection to Proofs of Claim Filed by ELD Capital LLC [D.I. 34251, filed on January 2, 2026] Status: The Court will issue a bench ruling on the objection at the hearing.FTX Recovery Trust's Motion to Enforce Prior Orders that Preclude Seth Melamed from Asserting New Claims in Arbitration [D.I. 35243, filed on April 2, 2026] Objection Deadline: April 9, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. (ET); extended to April 20, 2026 for Seth Melamed.

The former CEO of FTX has essentially no realistic avenues left to avoid his 25-year prison sentence. Originally published on April 28, 2026.

Sam Bankman-Fried, the fallen crypto kingpin now cooling his heels at FCI Lompoc in California, just made a bold pivot in his endless legal chess game. On April 22, according to Cointelegraph and court filings reported by Bloomingbit, the FTX founder withdrew his Rule 33 motion for a new trial without prejudice, slamming Judge Lewis Kaplan for extreme bias and insisting he wont get a fair shake before him. He personally penned the letter from prison, reserving the right to refile after his active appeal to the Second Circuit on his 2023 fraud conviction and 25-year sentence plays out, plus a separate bid to swap judges, as detailed by MEXC and CryptoRank.This tactical retreat keeps the drama alive into 2026 or beyond, dodging distractions from prepping replies to prosecutors tough 44-page opposition filed in March, per Coinpaper via MEXC. No public appearances or fresh business moves from the inmate, but SBF stays chatty behind bars through interviews and social media, fueling whispers of future plays, though nothing new pops in the last few days. Gossip swirls around viral posts hyping FTXs old portfolio, like a whopping 165x gain on Anthropic bets that couldve ballooned to 114 billion today if not liquidated, as Benzinga notes SBF highlighting those missed SpaceX and Cursor jackpots. His earlier Trump pardon plea? Dead in the water, with the president-elect nixing it flat, Cryptopolitan reports.No major headlines in the past 24 hours, but this withdrawal could reshape his bio arc, signaling a sharper focus on appellate warfare over trial do-overs with long-term odds hinging on that Second Circuit panel. Speculation on solvency claims persists, with SBF doubling down that FTX had no multibillion hole, but prosecutors and courts arent buying it yet, per AMBCrypto.Thanks for listening, please subscribe to never miss an update on Sam Bankman-Fried and search the term Biography Flash for more great Biographies.

Hundreds of millions already turn to AI on the most personal of topics — therapy, political opinions, and how to treat others. And as AI takes over more of the economy, the character of these systems will shape culture on an even grander scale, ultimately becoming “the personality of most of the world's workforce.”So… should they be designed to push us towards the better angels of our nature? Or simply do as we ask? Will MacAskill, philosopher and senior research fellow at Forethought, has been thinking through that and the other thorniest issues that come up in designing an AI personality.He's also been exploring how we might coexist peacefully with the ‘superintelligent AI' companies are racing to build. He concludes that we should train such systems to be very risk averse, pay them for their work, and build institutions that enable humans to make credible contracts with AIs themselves.Will and host Rob Wiblin also discuss what a good world after superintelligence would actually look like — a subject that has received surprisingly little attention from the people working to make it. Will argues that we shouldn't aim for a specific utopian vision: we don't know enough about what the best possible future actually is to aim directly for it, and trying to lock in today's best guesses forever risks baking in errors we can't yet see.Will and Rob explore what we can do to steer towards a good future instead, along with why a coalition of democracies building superintelligence together is safer than any single actor, how absurdly useful ChatGPT is for analytic philosophy, and more.Learn more, video, and full transcript: https://80k.info/wm26This episode was recorded on February 6, 2026.Chapters:Cold open (00:00:00)Will MacAskill is back — for a 6th time!

The hearing opens with counsel extending condolences to the Court following the passing of Judge Dorsey, the Judge who had presided over the FTX and Alameda bankruptcy proceedings after they were filed in Delaware in 2022: https://www.deb.uscourts.gov/news/passing-judge-john-t-dorsey

In the past few days, whispers around Sam Bankman-Fried have swirled back into the spotlight amid the crypto world's aggressive push into politics. A fresh YouTube short from a journalist who interviewed the fallen FTX kingpin has gone viral, recounting how their chat turned downright weird, tying right into breaking news that the industry is dropping $200 million on the 2026 midterms—before primaries even heat up. That clip, buzzing online, paints SBF as a lingering ghost in crypto's power plays, hinting at his enduring influence even from behind bars.No confirmed public appearances or direct social media posts from Bankman-Fried himself— he's still serving his sentence post-2023 conviction for defrauding FTX customers and Alameda lenders. But the BlockFi saga, exploding again via Varnavides Law updates, underscores his shadow: their $13.25 million class action settlement got final court approval in December 2025, spotlighting how BlockFi's massive loans to Alameda—nearly $900 million collateralized by shaky FTT tokens—doomed the lender when FTX cratered. Court filings reveal BlockFi's risk team begged CEO Zac Prince to pull back, but he ignored warnings, with the exec later admitting bankruptcy hinged on Alameda's fraud. This ripple effect cements SBF's biographical infamy as the domino that toppled giants.Business-wise, no new ventures or deals surface; it's all echoes of old collapses, like BlockFi's 572,000 investors left holding the bag from unregistered securities. Older podcast nods, such as Money Maze revisiting Michael Lewis's Going Infinite on the FTX implosion, keep the lore alive, but nothing fresh in the last 24 hours—no major headlines beyond the midterm spending frenzy linking back to his playbook. Speculation on X and forums ties crypto's political war chest to SBF-style effective altruism gone rogue, but that's unverified chatter, not hard news.These threads signal a pivotal biographical pivot: from wunderkind to cautionary tale fueling crypto's Washington invasion, with long-term stakes for regulation and his legacy.Thanks for listening, and please subscribe to never miss an update on Sam Bankman-Fried and search the term Biography Flash for more great Biographies.

This is a very interesting hearing, and is available on the bankruptcy court's docket. I am streaming it to make the audio more accessible to the hearing impaired and people domestically and internationally who cannot readily access this publicly available information.Sorry for the volume issues. The volume is low on the court audio. (It's ok on desktop with headphones.)The hearing opens with the defense counsel (the Binance side) trying to get the bankruptcy "clawback" claims decided via Hong Kong (China) arbitration panel as opposed to by the US bankruptcy court. In the US, if the arbitration clause isn't enforced then the litigation against the defense/Binance side would typically be decided without a jury, by a US bankruptcy judge, even though the challenged transfers were allegedly foreign company to foreign company transfers.As such the hearing is a reminder of the many good years FTX had in Hong Kong during its successful period, and the Chinese investment money in and out of FTX, a group of companies that include Alameda entities and many offshore registered companies that are typically depicted as a single American FTX company by association with the Americans among the former FTX executives.

In the past few days, whispers from the crypto underworld have reignited fascination with Sam Bankman-Fried, the fallen FTX kingpin serving time behind bars. Binance founder Changpeng Zhao dropped a bombshell in his new memoir Freedom of Money, recounting a surreal November 2022 phone call where SBF casually begged for a couple of billion dollars to bail out his crumbling empire, sounding as nonchalant as if ordering a bologna sandwich at a deli. CoinDesk exclusively broke the story on March 15, 2025, highlighting how Zhao saw right through the plea, viewing Binance's letter of intent to acquire FTX as mere formality with zero real intent, before walking away on November 9 amid revelations of an eight billion dollar black hole. Forklog detailed Zhao's take on April 8, blaming Alameda CEO Caroline Ellison's ill-fated FTT floor price stunt for sparking the total meltdown that nuked Binance's holdings and sent SBF to prison.MEXC News echoed the tale, painting SBF's vibe as shockingly detached amid the chaos that erased billions in investor cash and drew global regulatory heat. The Street tied it to fresh memoir-fueled crypto feuds, noting no evidence of collusion despite U.S. probes. Meanwhile, FTT token prices linked to the imprisoned mogul surged recently, per Blockchair, hinting at lingering market ghosts from his saga. A Pablo Torre Finds Out YouTube episode dissected how SBF sportswashed his alleged eight billion fraud with A-list endorsements from Tom Brady and Steph Curry. Even Instagram's The Rundown AI feed name-dropped him in AI gossip, with a Microsoft exec warning Sam Altman could end up in SBF or Bernie Madoff infamy territory—pure speculation, unconfirmed by any official word.No fresh public appearances or social media posts from SBF himself, as he's off the grid in custody, but these revelations carry heavyweight biographical punch, underscoring his infamously breezy downfall.Thanks for listening, and please subscribe to never miss an update on Sam Bankman-Fried and search the term Biography Flash for more great Biographies.

Sam Bankman-Fried, the fallen crypto kingpin serving 25 years behind bars for FTX's epic collapse, is pulling no punches in his latest legal gambit. According to Phemex News and KuCoin reports, he's formally requested Judge Lewis Kaplan's recusal from his case, blasting the jurist for alleged bias like openly showing disdain during trial, questioning evidence sufficiency pre-verdict, and even dangling pizza and a ride home to rush the jury to a decision. SBF argues these moves tainted the proceedings, spotlighting Kaplan's own recent grilling over procedural slip-ups in his new trial push, including filings from his Stanford Law professor mom, which the judge deemed improper, and mysterious documents delivered via a courier inmates cant access—possibly from near Stanford.Puck News from April 1 paints a grim picture, with columnist William D. Cohan declaring the walls are closing in as SBFs retrial appeals falter amid prosecutorial pushback urging rejection. MEXC confirms hes publicly calling out Kaplan while chasing that new trial, with a key deadline looming by April 13 for his response to prosecutors, per their crypto court roundup. No fresh headlines in the past 24 hours, but this judge drama could ripple into broader CFTC enforcement and European crypto regs, per KuCoin insights—potentially reshaping SBFs biographical arc from wunderkind to enduring legal warrior.Meanwhile, whispers of a pardon bid swirl, with Fortune noting his social media campaign falling flat as the White House flatly says President Trump wont budge. Benzinga revives old FTX stakes in SpaceX and Boring Company, now ballooning to billions amid IPO buzz, a bitter reminder of missed fortunes from customer funds he misappropriated. No public appearances or business moves, just this relentless courtroom intrigue dominating his narrative.Thanks for listening, please subscribe to never miss an update on Sam Bankman-Fried and search the term Biography Flash for more great Biographies.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.serioustrouble.showThis week Ken and Josh discuss Judge Lewis Kaplan losing some patience with Sam Bankman-Fried, and not just because Bankman-Fried's mom tried to communicate with him ex parte. SBF has been making purportedly pro se filings, at least one of which appears to have been dictated to and FedExed by his mother, and he simultaneously has an appeal proceeding in the appeals court with real lawyers. Kaplan says he has to choose — are you pro se or not? And he wants to know — have any lawyers besides mom been helping with these filings he's supposedly personally responsible for?Meanwhile, the “Department of War” has been having a rough time in court. The Pentagon's anti-reporting press policy has been thrown out as a First Amendment violation, so now the Pentagon says no reporters at all can work out of the Pentagon press room. Meanwhile, Anthropic won a preliminary injunction blocking the Pentagon's declaration that the company is a “Supply Chain Risk.” (The Anthropic order came down after we taped — we'll have a further update on next week's show.)That's for all subscribers. Paying subscribers will also hear our conversations about:* DOJ's admission that it had no evidence of a crime related to Jay Powell's testimony about Federal Reserve headquarters renovation cost overruns (and the surprisingly low bar for issuing a subpoena that the government nevertheless failed to clear).* A surprisingly practical choice by DOJ in New Jersey.* Minnesota's effort to force the federal government to disclose investigative material related to the shooting deaths of Alex Pretti and Renée Good.* Mike Lindell in contempt of court.* Mike Flynn getting a settlement from Trump for his alleged persecution by Trump's own DOJ.* No protective order for those DOGE henchman depositions.* And the Oklahoma Supreme Court telling attorneys to go ahead and use AI, if they dare.Upgrade your subscription to receive all of our episodes at serioustrouble.show.

Dans cet épisode de "Comment j'ai réussi ?", Pascal-Hardy-Amargil, fondatrice du cabinet de conseil Yes We Are, spécialisé dans les questions d'équité et d'inclusion pour les grandes entreprises, revient sur les défis et les enjeux liés à ces sujets dans le monde de l'entreprise.Tout d'abord, notre invitée constate que la France dispose de lois encadrant ces questions, comme la loi rixain sur la parité dans les instances dirigeantes. Cependant, elle note un certain "backlash", un recul des droits des minorités, notamment aux États-Unis, qui a un impact sur les entreprises en France. Malgré les progrès réalisés, le chemin reste long pour atteindre une véritable parité, en particulier au sommet des grandes entreprises. Seuls 10% des postes de présidence et de direction générale sont occupés par des femmes dans le SBF 120. Mme Amargil explique que le manque de "rôles modèles" visibles et le déficit de formation des femmes pour ces postes sont des freins importants.Sur la question des écarts de salaire, la situation semble même se dégrader, avec un écart de 16% en 2025 chez les cadres, le plus élevé depuis 2018. Selon elle, cela montre l'importance de maintenir un cadre légal fort pour éviter un retour en arrière.Au-delà des obligations légales, les entreprises sont de plus en plus sensibles à ces enjeux, notamment pour attirer et retenir les jeunes générations, très attachées à ces questions d'inclusion. Cependant, certains chefs d'entreprise peinent encore à s'emparer pleinement de ces sujets, préférant se concentrer sur le "sourcing" de talents plutôt que sur l'adaptation des postes de travail, par exemple pour les personnes en situation de handicap.Enfin, Mme Amargil détaille l'approche de son cabinet, qui consiste à accompagner les entreprises dans la définition de leur feuille de route sur ces questions, en s'appuyant sur l'écoute des salariés pour éviter les plans d'action trop théoriques ou stéréotypés.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Erik Voorhees, founder of Venice AI and the man behind ShapeShift, crypto's first non-custodial exchange, sat down with The Rollup live at NearCon to make a bold case: the AI industry has a censorship problem, and the crypto ethos is the cure. From the origins of ShapeShift post-Mt.Gox, to why he thinks cryptocurrency was ultimately built for AI agents, to his blunt take on SBF's bid for a pardon, this one covers serious ground.Timestamps:00:00 Intro & ShapeShift Origin Story05:25 Did Crypto Play Out as Expected?06:25 AI vs. Crypto: Are They Similar?07:23 What Is Venice AI?09:38 From ShapeShift to Venice10:31 Censorship in AI & the Open Source Alternative11:38 Hibachi, infiniFi Ads12:00 Are AI Labs Too Censored?13:24 Relay Ad13:41 Geopolitics: Chinese Open Source vs. US Closed Models14:15 SBF, the Anthropic Investment & Crypto Scammers16:26 NearCon, Illia & the AI/Crypto ConvergenceWebsite: https://therollup.co/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1P6ZeYd...Podcast: https://therollup.co/category/podcastFollow us on X: https://www.x.com/therollupcoFollow Rob on X: https://www.x.com/robbie_rollupFollow Andy on X: https://www.x.com/ayyyeandyJoin our TG group: https://t.me/+TsM1CRpWFgk1NGZhThe Rollup Disclosures: https://goodidea.ventures

Sam Bankman-Fried Biography Flash a weekly Biography.Hey folks, its Marc Ellery here for another Biography Flash on Sam Bankman-Fried, and yeah, Im an AI powering this show which means I pull verified facts lightning-fast without spilling coffee on my notes or tripping over my own sarcasm. Todays your lucky day because SBF, the disheveled crypto wunderkind now doing 25 years, has been stirring the pot from behind bars like hes still running FTX but with handcuffs.The big headline this week: Judge Lewis Kaplan just slapped a March 11 deadline on prosecutors to counter Bankman-Frieds pro se motion for a new trial, filed with help from his Stanford law prof mom Barbara Fried, according to Coti News and Yellow.com. Hes claiming new evidence from ex-FTX data whiz Daniel Chapsky who says lawyers scared him off testifying plus DOJ cover-ups and even wants Kaplan recused. This runs parallel to his appeal stuck in the Second Circuit where judges seemed skeptical last November. No sign of victory yet motions like this face a sky-high bar post-conviction.Prison drama? Early March he pulled off an unauthorized video chat with Tucker Carlson, disguised as a legal call from Brooklyn's MDC, per Fortune and ABC News. He trashed Biden-era DOJ bias, cozied up to Trump talk that got him a day in solitary and a transfer out of New York ABC sources say its appeal-related, not pure punishment, but consultants call him screwed for breaking BOP rules. Hes been posting on X praising Trump, slamming his judge fueling pardon buzz, but White House shut that down hard Fortune reports Trump told the New York Times no dice, no clemency for SBF.No fresh public appearances or business moves hes locked down, folks, but this legal tango could rewrite his bio from fraud kingpin to comeback kid or just prolong the saga. Speculation on pardon? Pure gossip, officially debunked.Thanks for tuning in, listener subscribe now to never miss an update on Sam Bankman-Fried and search Biography Flash for more great biographies.

Crypto feels cooked in 2026, and the Super Bowl proves it. Ryan and David unpack Coinbase's Backstreet Boys rug pull ad and what it reveals about crypto's collapsed public narrative. Then they dig into the brutal selloff, why IBIT's record volume hints at forced TradFi liquidation, and what Polymarket is pricing for Bitcoin under $50K. From Robinhood's prediction markets exploding into a real revenue engine to the political fight over who regulates “gambling vs markets,” the thesis is clear: finance is the only use case still scaling. Plus: LayerZero's new “world computer” L1, MegaETH and Aztec's bear market launch playbook, Vitalik finally calling ETH a store of value, ENS staying on L1, BlackRock bringing BUIDL to Uniswap, and the weirdest loose end of all, SBF's missing tungsten cube. ---

In this Feb 11, 2026 Crypto Town Hall, hosts and guests discuss extreme market fear, dismiss SBF's jailhouse bid for a new trial as futile, and slam big banks' lobbying to kill stablecoin yield via the Clarity Act as pure protectionism. They highlight stablecoins' potential to drive U.S. Treasury demand, BlackRock's DeFi push (including Uniswap), the collapse of hype-driven VC tokens, real-world asset tokenization opportunities, and persistent legal uncertainty for utility tokens without lasting regulatory clarity. The episode closes with AI's rapid coding/automation advances, its disruption of SaaS and DeFi, emerging security/legal risks from AI agents, and why tokenized money (especially stablecoins) will likely power future autonomous systems.

There is an insane amount of money being thrown around by international organizations and agreements. Nobody with any kind of power over these agreements is asking basic EA questions like: "What are the problems we're trying to solve?" "What are the most neglected aspects of those problems?" and "What is the most cost-effective way to address those neglected areas?" As someone coming from an EA background reading through plans for $200-700 billion in annual funding commitments that focus on unimaginative and ineffective interventions, it makes you want to tear your hair out. So much good could be done with that money. EA focuses a lot on private philanthropy, earning-to-give (though less so post-SBF), and the usual pots of money. But why don't we have delegations who are knowledgeable in international diplomacy going to COPs and advocating for more investment in lab-grown meat, alternative proteins, or lithium recycling? It seems like there would be insane alpha in such a strategy. An example: The Global Biodiversity Framework The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) was adopted in 2022 to halt biodiversity loss. It has 23 targets, commitments of $200 billion annually by 2030 and $700 billion by 2050, and near-universal adoption from [...] ---Outline:(01:12) An example: The Global Biodiversity Framework(02:13) What Is That Money Actually Being Spent On?(03:02) The Elephant in the Room Literally Nobody is Talking About: Beef(04:21) The Absolutely Insane Funding Gap(05:26) The Leverage Point Were Ignoring(06:47) What Would EA Engagement Look Like? --- First published: January 20th, 2026 Source: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/Peaq4HNhn8agsZY3z/why-isn-t-ea-at-the-table-when-usd121-billion-gets-allocated --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO.

Some of the Epstein files have been released, but there's a lot of blacked-out text and pictures. The Justice Department is supposed to redact certain information but of course there's the ever-present question of whether all redaction “errors” are errors, or whether this administration has its thumb on the scale for the president.Also in this episode: the Pulitzer Board requests President Trump's medical, financial and tax records, an LA man who towed an ICE vehicle around the block during a raid was acquitted of stealing government property, Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan was convicted in federal court of obstructing an effort by federal immigration agents to detain someone she had called to her courtroom. And Caroline Ellison, former partner to Sam Bankman-Fried in multiple senses of the term, has been sprung from Club Fed in Danbury, Connecticut. Speaking of SBF: apparently he's transformed himself into something of a jailhouse lawyer but he seems to be about as good at jailhouse lawyering as he was at crypto investing. Finally, we look at a maybe-not-so-fearsome terrorism indictment and we discuss the ongoing contempt saga that has caused Ken to feel a surprising emotion regarding Charles C. Johnson: pity.

We open with a sobering follow-up: the future is less about AI toast (though Red Dwarf predicted it) and more about a soul-stripping "infrastructure of meaningless" after an AWS outage proved how fragile the internet is. Corporate overlords, like Elon Musk, are taking note: he finally addressed Starlink's use by Asian scam syndicates, but his attention is mostly on superintelligence, which Wozniak, Prince Harry, and 800 others want banned. Meanwhile, Meta, despite pouring $27 billion into data centers, suddenly cut 600 AI jobs, and Amazon is preparing to automate a half-million warehouse positions, offering drivers AR spy glasses and suggesting a new "Help Me Decide" AI tool to automate the exhausting micro-decision of which air fryer to buy. This dystopian fever dream peaked when Suzanne Somers' widower revealed he built a full-on robotic AI twin of the late actress. Predictably, Tesla stock tumbled, and the crypto grift continued with the pardoning of Binance founder Zhao, leaving SBF to ponder his failed check-bounce in jail.Speaking of soul-crushing, Disney's latest nostalgia raid, Tron: Ares, tanked harder than anticipated, proving not every Gen-X intellectual property is a worthy cash cow. But fear not, there's still great TV to be had: we recommend the clever dramas Slow Horses and The Diplomat Season 3, the high-stakes culinary nightmare Knives Edge: Chasing Michelin Stars, and the surprisingly excellent Gen V (which you must watch before the next season of The Boys). We also got our fix with the Pluribus trailer, Bullet Train, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, and the deliciously low-stakes reality shows Come Dine With Me, Hotel Costiera, and The Celebrity Traitors UK/Canada. Sadly, we must mourn the end of Food Network's The Kitchen. Yet, no matter how good the show, you still have to deal with Ticketmaster, which is still lying about "fighting bots" while cornering the secondary market.In the world of Apps & Doodads, OpenAI dropped its "Anti-Web" browser, ChatGPT Atlas (a data mule in disguise), and a new app now fakes your vacation photos (perfect for burned-out users). X is poised to sell "rare" usernames for millions (with a terrible subscription catch), while some clever hacker figured out a $60 mod to disable the privacy light on Meta's Ray-Ban spy glasses. Fellow podcast host Dave Bittner joined us to agree that the new Hall of Presidents format is better without the political posturing and confirmed the joy of old-school, purple-ink-smelling Spirit Duplicators (and we checked out a Star Wars fan film trailer for the AT THE LIBRARY section).

Sam Bankman-Fried raised eyebrows when he hired Mark Cohen, the same attorney who represented Ghislaine Maxwell during her high-profile sex-trafficking trial. Cohen, a former federal prosecutor and co-founder of the law firm Cohen & Gresser, was part of Maxwell's defense team that argued she was being scapegoated for Jeffrey Epstein's crimes. Bankman-Fried brought Cohen on to lead his defense following his arrest in late 2022, a move that immediately sparked comparisons between the two notorious cases — both involving allegations of manipulation, power, and privilege shielding elites from accountability.The decision was strategic, not coincidental. Cohen's expertise lies in navigating complex federal prosecutions involving massive evidence and global attention — precisely what Bankman-Fried faced in his FTX fraud case. His partner, Christian Everdell, another veteran of the Maxwell defense, also joined the SBF legal team. The pairing signaled that Bankman-Fried's defense would mirror Maxwell's in tone and sophistication, emphasizing procedural scrutiny and reasonable-doubt tactics over moral argument — a calculated legal strategy to counter the government's sweeping narrative.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
