I’m not going to try to weed through the semantic and rhetorical positions a lot of you want to take on that other thread but I am very curious what you all have to think about the following:

It seems like a lot of you believe (and I agree) that the samurai prosecution is a serious threat to speech and privacy and the space generally. Yet no one seemed to give a shit enough to fund a single lawsuit. There are actual bitcoin billionaires and millionaire who we actually know without having to say names. They didn’t give a shit. There are serious public figure venture capitalists in this space. I’m sure they gave money they certainly asked us to on their various pod casts. And had Keonne on all the podcasts after the plea. Where was all the money?

I watch what people do not what people say. You all rightly point out they could not afford their defense, and I believe they. So where was the money and why couldn’t they get it if this was all so important? I don’t know the answers to any of this but I think we should all think about it a little. This isn’t me trying to imply anything at all. I genuinely wonder if this was such an important case where was all the fucking money when they needed it. Rando victims of police violence have no problem generating millions of dollars from random idiots so what really happened here?

A real investigator should ask that question but there might be something important that we aren’t talking about.
