So glad to have stumbled on your channel. I love your compassion and (tempered) optimism about prison, reform, and what inmates can do to improve their lives, prospects and the lives of those around them. I appreciate what you said in another video about how people think barely at all about prison or jail life until it intersects with them personally. I had an acquaintance who went to prison for over 10 years, and hearing from him about what it's like was appalling. I wish we focused more on rehab in this country, instead of vengeance and punishment.
Thank you for your comment. Finding that balance between directness and maintaining compassion and empathy is essential. As a defendant, I wished someone would have poured a bucket of cold ice on me and then said, "Get it together!" Instead, I was told what I wanted to hear. I paid the price with a longer sentence and more pain for my family. And yes, had I not gone to prison, I would probably still be saying, "Lock them up." I have learned so many valuable lessons, and I am thankful and grateful to have this platform to share them. Best to you.
Great job with this interview Justin! The last couple of years your videos have reached a new level. The message in is on point and the delivery nicely done and so fluid. Not to mention all the people you help. Proud to know you brother! 💪
It made me so happy to read your name. Thank you so much for your message. You’ve always been so kind and supportive of my work. So good to hear from you. Thank you.
I learned from someone who conquered 26 straight years in prison. He had a plan, his dignity and the right attitude. If Michael Santos can do it, so can Sam Bankman-Fried!! And thank you!
Look forward to hearing you speak more on this issue. EVERYONE can relate to SBF feeling of hopelessness. I hope he rallies and finds his path. I wish him luck.
In circumstances where you need to assign a dollar value to a human life for policy considerations the number is typically 10 million dollars. In this sense his crime was kind of like killing a thousand people. By that standard his sentence was lenient. Obviously you can't take this model too literally, but what SBF did was really bad.
Yes, the judge is too lenient, considering how this criminal behaved post-arrest, both in and out of court. Anyway I am going to count on how he will behave in prison.
Hi i got a question,im on pre trial release right now for a fraud case,can i just revoke my bond and go to jail until sentencing?Feels like i'm wasting my time rn,i would like to start and serve my time now.
The fact is, his parents will most probably be dead by the time he gets out. I wonder if they will reflect on this when they consider his father’s castigating him for “only” paying him $250,000 a year instead of the one million dollars promised……which SBF then agreed to. Or his mother’s asking for huge amounts of cash for her various projects. They are both accomplices in the 25 year sentence imposed on their son and I have no sympathy whatsoever for any of them. Greed
Actually I think they will hang on to dear life just to see him walk out of prison. Then both will immediately implode like the bad guys in the 1st Indiana Jones...
Nah, one thing his mom must have taught him was never stoop so low as to acquire some humility. Hold your head up, the way mom did hers every day outside the court house.
00:41 Yes, his "useful life was over" whenever he determined he was too clever for anyone to ever figure out his elaborate yet simple scam and when he trusted others would go along with him for the duration, no matter what he did, because he was just too cool ~ I'm supposing here. I obviously do not know the man or how his mind works. But we are not really useful while we are in the process of scamming no matter how good it looks on the outside or even to oneself. Yet I have to wonder how a person could possibly think and believe this scam could work for very long. Did he have imaginings on what it would look like when it came to a halt~? Did he ever live in nervousness of riding it so long or engage fearful thoughts of a sudden exposure~? Or did he think he would algorithm his way right back out of it before it was noticed by anyone~? I mean these questions had to have gone through his head, no~?
I find it interesting that he lamented the loss of being useful. That’s not something I expected from a fraudster. If the comment came from him and he’s not just repeating what an attorney told him to say there may be some hope for him.
Great job, Justin. You are excellent and do much good in your work.
Thank you so much. I appreciate it.

I totally agree.

You speak so clearly with such conviction and passion. Thanks for the work you do.
Appreciate your note. Thank you.
I love how positive Justin always is and how honest he is!

Me too. I’m grateful you’re on our team.
That guy doesn't feel "hope" therefore neither "hopelessness." As usual people try to attach humanity to folks who have none.
Fantastic work Justin hopefully one day, you will interview Sam Bankman-Fried
Proud of you and the work you do Justin
Thank you for saying that. Thank you.

2:03 Omg! Now THAT frame of SBF may be speaking volumes ~ (or it could just be something or someone he was looking at intently, ha ha).
I think most of us are shocked that he didn’t get a much longer sentence
Longer? My god.
When he comes out he will have few billion $$ waiting for him?

Thank you!
Sounds like BF feels sorry for himself.
Sam did everything he shouldn't have done. Maybe if he wasn't messing around he would get 12 instead.
Even less, I know

CNN needs to get people from the social media, RUclips. Otherwise, no ones watches them

Adoption day for SBF, he will be getting a new Daddy soon.
