There's a difference between "he's obviously guilty" and "ladies and gentlemen of the jury, he's obviously guilty", and you have to do all the legal busywork before trying someone or a really good defense lawyer could get him off on a technicality.
Keep in mind that he's been under investigation before his company collapsed. There were whistleblowers that tried to reach out and were denied. It's not as if they only started working on a case against him when we got to find out, so one does have to wonder with how much time they had and how much was at stake why it didn't happen sooner.

The guy at 8:03 was (emphasis on was) the co-host to the first Twitter space Coffeezilla ambushed SBF at. When San was making excuses to leave once Coffee was pressing him with harder questions, Neuner said something along the lines of "It's okay Sam, we know/I'm sure you're trying your best and have good intentions". Though he missed out on who said it, this made Coffeezilla launch a scathing rant against the idea of letting SBF off the hook so easily and that his only "intention" is to avoid jailtime. It's cut out from his video of the first two interviews since it'd be preaching to the choir, but it truly shows him as one of the few sane voices involved in this mess. Shortly after, the dude running that specific Twitter space sought a new co-host due to Ran's biases.
You mentioned Coffee, I just gotta say it's insane the work that guy does. People like him and friendlyjordies deserve so much respect, they just talk about and pursue these people that no one else is, and they refuse to just let it die..they try to do their part to make sure that people don't let it die, try to ensure that people end up punished.

The thing with lawyers is that they can drop you as their client just as you can drop them as your lawyer, so after disobeying his lawyer's advice, SBF probably needs to get some new ones and fast.

Upper Echelon covered this as well earlier actually. Apparently, the Bahamian govt. is incredibly corrupt, and the prison SBF wound up in is well known for incredibly inhuman conditions and *rarely* investigating murders/deaths that actually take place in it. so if he doesn't get extradited, it's entirely possible that the dude isn't going to make it out of the Bahamas alive if at all
Based on what I read, each charge against him can go up to a maximum of 20 years in prison. Even if he doesn’t get the max sentence, that’s still a lot of jail time.
And even then that might not be enough tbh Technicities of law are very complex and if the judge rules those as mistaken non-based claims (which can happen with the correct deffense) they may hold no value and good luck with showing an old ass judge digital crime as complex as this one
His dad worked/works for the IRS and his mom is a professor at an Ivy league. His family is extremely well connected and loaded. I'd be shocked if he spends more than a 5 years in "prison" (he's not going to some super hard-core federal facility and making big rocks into small rocks)
@@Quaquadaqu how is making fun of a scam, making fun of a so called disability. No one even knows if he is disabled and it wouldn’t change the fact that he had STOLEN PEOPLES MONEY.
There's a good chance they were waiting to arrest him so he'd continue doing interviews. That way they'd have a lot more evidence and possibly admissions from him
Last month when shit hit the fan, local authorities were on the ball and prevented him from leaving, and there is info that they did plan on fleeing to Dubai. Why he accepted interviews, I don't know, but I'm sure he knew his days as a free man were numbered.
Update: Sam was sentenced to 25 Years in Prison. His ex-girlfriend and CEO of Alameda, Caroline Ellison got 2 years in prison after testifying against Sam. Another Executive Nishad Singh got 3 years of supervised release after testifying against Sam. And Sam’s business partner Gary Wang is awaiting sentencing after testifying against Sam
Caroline (Harry Potter fan) was found at a Starbucks like a 20 minute walk away from the NY prosecutors office. She snitched and then they arrested SBF. Timelines add up.
So I guess Caroline (Harry Potter fan) will not be arrested for snitching? Or will Caroline (Harry Potter fan) get a less severe sentence? Well, who knows, at least Caroline (Harry Potter fan) snitching got SBF arrested
@@WAVE0025 Not entirely sure what deal Caroline (Harry Potter fan) struck with the DoJ, but I'd assume given that it was her, Sam Trabucco, and SBF who co-ran Alameda and FTX, they were just waiting on one to snitch on the others to add to the evidence they already collected. Could be full immunity, or could be that Caroline (Harry Potter fan) gets a lighter sentence in a more comfy prison cell or even house arrest with no financial dealings for the rest of her life.

The US doesn't have a good track record about getting arrests or convictions for bad people. Especially if they're rich... There was always a chance he was just gonna get away with it, but thank God, it looks like he isn't
The police, fbi, and other investigators need to take all the time that’s needed to ensure that without a shadow of a doubt, this guy did something bad. They also need to compile all the evidence possible to convict him, and ensure he goes to jail. Maybe it takes weeks, maybe it takes months, but in theory, that’s what the investigators are supposed to do. I like to think they stayed radio silent because of all his interviews. They were looking for every slip up and admission of guilt they could.
My professor was called into jury duty the day our final was posted to be held, and I really just like to imagine that this is the kinda case he was working on Oh yeah I tanked that final btw it was messy
I feel/hope that the length of time from the collapse to the arrest was probably just authorities making sure they had a rock-solid case before arresting him. If they’d gone public about their investigation right away it might’ve scared SBF into silence, but since that wasn’t the case, they have a ton of stuff that they can use to incriminate him. Like how in police interrogations they just start by letting you talk uninterrupted about your version of events so that they can turn that around on you in court later. Obviously I have no idea if this was actually their strategy, but if it was, seems like it worked.
I’m not usually one to stick up for the authorities, but I think in this case, given the weight of this, if they’d arrested him before they had an ironclad case against him, he might have been able to temporarily worm his way out at least for enough time to flee/unalive himself.
maybe more arrests in the near future - there were photos of Caroline at a coffeeshop just a few days ago. She may have a deal with the prosecutors sharing all her texts and other incriminating info. Otherwise I would expect she would be in custody as a lead of the fraudulent transactions going on
SBF in his Lawyers office like: SBF: “I admitted to committing fraud on camera!” Lawyer: “Ok this looks bad but we can get through this. We’ll get you laid low, we’ll find a place to hide you out maybe argenti- what the fuck are you doing?” SBF: “Oh I’m just live tweeting this conversation.”
The only reason he got arrested is because one or more of the victims are rich and powerful people. If no one with any money or power had gotten scammed by him he would still be free
It's a step in the right direction. I still think there are a lot of huge hurdles ahead for the prosecution team. This scammer is probably still able to afford a really good lawyer.

this is officially one of the moments of modern history
The music on my page is better than charlieS! ? That's what I'm supposed to say tught
Of all the events of 2022, this was one of them.
Out of all the moments this was a moment
"i bet atrioc is wiggling his finger right about now"
THIS IS THE MOMENT WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FORRRR
HELL YEAAAA
That's what it's all about! Woo!
These bots ain’t fuckin funny this is horrible
@David [DOND WII?! More like Chipmunk PooPoo WII!] Ok
@David [DOND WII?! More like Chipmunk PooPoo WII!] google translate just makes this so much better.
When I saw that he had gotten arrested in the news, I was just waiting for this video. Props on the hella fast delivery Charlie!
i love how even the news' support wasn't enough for this guy to not get utterly ganked
It never is. The news can persuade some people's public opinion but that's basically it. Beyond that a lot of outlets didn't "support" him at all.
@@TheNobleFive yeah they mostly liked him because he had the money to pay for good reviews lol
@@tweenytwinkies it's even funnier with that context
Based on what I read, each charge against him can go up to a maximum of 20 years in prison. Even if he doesn’t get the max sentence, that’s still a lot of jail time.
Finally, justice is served.
@DONT READ MY PROFILE PICTURE no
@dontreadmyprofilepicture1465 I read it
@David [DOND WII?! More like Chipmunk PooPoo WII!] that's definitely a psycho way to clout chase..
not like those morons are getting their money back lmao
@@p-__ it's literally just a small cloud of air.
This case is the perfect example of "anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law"
This boy been saying a LOT!
And even then that might not be enough tbh
Technicities of law are very complex and if the judge rules those as mistaken non-based claims (which can happen with the correct deffense) they may hold no value and good luck with showing an old ass judge digital crime as complex as this one
His dad worked/works for the IRS and his mom is a professor at an Ivy league. His family is extremely well connected and loaded. I'd be shocked if he spends more than a 5 years in "prison" (he's not going to some super hard-core federal facility and making big rocks into small rocks)
Yeah he's going into a White Collar prison.
Cool it with the antisemitic remarks
Either that or "suicide" under watch of "professionals"

Someone had to point it out 💀
I saw this yesterday and was genuinely wondering when you would make a video, im so glad you did. I hope this man gets exactly whats coming to him
bro didn't watch this video, thats why he didn't give names.
_Why is there so many bots in the comments_ 🗿
Whenever critical starts with something related to him watching something go down, you know its gotta be good.
I cant tell if this comment a bot or not cause i see the same comment like every video

We’re making fun of disabilities now?
@@Quaquadaqu no we are making fun of SBF
@@Quaquadaqu how is making fun of a scam, making fun of a so called disability. No one even knows if he is disabled and it wouldn’t change the fact that he had STOLEN PEOPLES MONEY.
Charlie gives us news/stories we never thought to write in a diary, and finds a way to entertain us. He’s truly something special, love you bro 🫡
He really goes insaneo-style
So happy to see atrioc on the channel, he'd for sure be pumped too! You two are the goats of covering this saga, good stuff!

6:55 It's considered hearsay evidence, but unlike other forms of hearsay it's admissible in court as an admission against penal interest.

Man, imagine having your entire personality summed up as "28 year old Harry Potter fan".
That's such a harsh burn and they didn't even mean to.
Investigations take time. Good on the justice department keeping it quiet. THAT'S the real miracle!
Not used to see Charlie showing this level of emotion about anything but It's great
He hates rich people

My jaw dropped thank you for sharing this Ive never been so glad to hear someone has been arrested
Sam Bankman-Fried, more like Sam Bankman-Captured
Damn... maybe if he had just had the information in front of him right now at this very moment he could've prevented this from happening.
lmao
"you cant arrest me im stupid" this is a meatcanyon skit waiting to happen
There's a good chance they were waiting to arrest him so he'd continue doing interviews. That way they'd have a lot more evidence and possibly admissions from him
Last month when shit hit the fan, local authorities were on the ball and prevented him from leaving, and there is info that they did plan on fleeing to Dubai. Why he accepted interviews, I don't know, but I'm sure he knew his days as a free man were numbered.
Update: Sam was sentenced to 25 Years in Prison.
His ex-girlfriend and CEO of Alameda, Caroline Ellison got 2 years in prison after testifying against Sam.
Another Executive Nishad Singh got 3 years of supervised release after testifying against Sam.
And Sam’s business partner Gary Wang is awaiting sentencing after testifying against Sam
That Coffeezilla moment was historic--zilla is a national treasure, we need to build statues of the guy after that move!
Caroline (Harry Potter fan) was found at a Starbucks like a 20 minute walk away from the NY prosecutors office. She snitched and then they arrested SBF. Timelines add up.
Probably got a major ultimatum: turn him in or you go to prison. She’s probably not as well connected so there would be no hope for her
So I guess Caroline (Harry Potter fan) will not be arrested for snitching? Or will Caroline (Harry Potter fan) get a less severe sentence? Well, who knows, at least Caroline (Harry Potter fan) snitching got SBF arrested
@@WAVE0025 Not entirely sure what deal Caroline (Harry Potter fan) struck with the DoJ, but I'd assume given that it was her, Sam Trabucco, and SBF who co-ran Alameda and FTX, they were just waiting on one to snitch on the others to add to the evidence they already collected. Could be full immunity, or could be that Caroline (Harry Potter fan) gets a lighter sentence in a more comfy prison cell or even house arrest with no financial dealings for the rest of her life.
Wouldn't that make her... the Golden Snitch?
@@nic8132 amazing 😂
It's amazing how many news articles don't mention why he's been arrested.
Hes jewish. Hope that explains why media wont cover his downfall.

@exodusn2233he is jew and his name is bank man is the bigest red flag in history
@@alexzander2211 I can almost guarantee you're a holocaust denier, you absolute freak of nature.
i saw this on the big screen tv at my college campus and i just had a smile on my face along with other people around
Finally, a real life plot twist that isn't another "Once in a lifetime historical event".
When i heard he got arrested i almost had to bust out the victory screech
How anyone thought he was not being investigated is beyond me.
The US doesn't have a good track record about getting arrests or convictions for bad people. Especially if they're rich... There was always a chance he was just gonna get away with it, but thank God, it looks like he isn't
Been waiting for this video to drop and it’s finally here. This is it folks. This is the big finale.
What about the trial? Isn't that kind of important?
His trial was basically, Your honor my client pleads oopsie daisy.
The police, fbi, and other investigators need to take all the time that’s needed to ensure that without a shadow of a doubt, this guy did something bad. They also need to compile all the evidence possible to convict him, and ensure he goes to jail. Maybe it takes weeks, maybe it takes months, but in theory, that’s what the investigators are supposed to do.
I like to think they stayed radio silent because of all his interviews. They were looking for every slip up and admission of guilt they could.
Your honor, my client says he did it and pleads "who cares." We move to dismiss all charges.
I'm sure he'll be perfectly safe in his cell under guard supervision.
@dontreadmyprofilepicture7013 ok
@DONT READ MY PROFILE PICTURE ok i wont
If it wasnt for Charlie, I wouldn't know all this was even taking place.
I can see his defense now
"what's you're defense"
"I'm actually pretty stupid so its not my fault"
If anyone is wondering, SBF was sentenced to 25 years in prison. The sentence they were going for was 40-50 years.
Splendid
Pretty sure his parents are working really hard to get it down to 1-2 years.
charlie’s videos are the only reason i wake up in the morning
@David [DOND WII?! More like Chipmunk PooPoo WII!] sanest ohio citizen
Don’t worry, you’ll feel better soon
@@dontreadmyprofilepicture270 I oblige
His videos remind me to touch grass or become like him.
My professor was called into jury duty the day our final was posted to be held, and I really just like to imagine that this is the kinda case he was working on
Oh yeah I tanked that final btw it was messy
Federal agents: You’re under arrest.
SBF: You can’t arrest me, I’m stupid.
😂
How come I can only see this video on my recommended page and not on the recently uploaded page?
It wasnt listed on his page for me. But i could search for it generally
They more than likely waited to arrest him until he went through with those interviews so they can compile evidence against him.
This is the greatest NFT collapse of all time.
I feel/hope that the length of time from the collapse to the arrest was probably just authorities making sure they had a rock-solid case before arresting him. If they’d gone public about their investigation right away it might’ve scared SBF into silence, but since that wasn’t the case, they have a ton of stuff that they can use to incriminate him. Like how in police interrogations they just start by letting you talk uninterrupted about your version of events so that they can turn that around on you in court later. Obviously I have no idea if this was actually their strategy, but if it was, seems like it worked.
I’m not usually one to stick up for the authorities, but I think in this case, given the weight of this, if they’d arrested him before they had an ironclad case against him, he might have been able to temporarily worm his way out at least for enough time to flee/unalive himself.
SBF is in a constant visual state of awkwardness. It’s like every photo taken of him he just doesn’t want to be there
maybe more arrests in the near future - there were photos of Caroline at a coffeeshop just a few days ago. She may have a deal with the prosecutors sharing all her texts and other incriminating info. Otherwise I would expect she would be in custody as a lead of the fraudulent transactions going on
I loved this video when charlie said "its moisting time" and became moist
dont say that
SBF in his Lawyers office like:
SBF: “I admitted to committing fraud on camera!”
Lawyer: “Ok this looks bad but we can get through this. We’ll get you laid low, we’ll find a place to hide you out maybe argenti- what the fuck are you doing?”
SBF: “Oh I’m just live tweeting this conversation.”
You missed "I don't have that information in front of me"
Let’s hope he doesn’t go to a cozy prison and actually goes to a normal prison
Cozy prison is actually a lot worse. If you aren’t insane going in, you probably will be coming out, if you ever even make it out.
This is the greatest arresting of All Time.
Better than serial killers, murderers, and rapists?
@@nunyabizznus2216 just as good, he did a terrible crime aswell, we smokin that sam pack rn fr
I'm holding my breath until his arrest turns into a conviction. Still though, the fact that he was arrested at all is insane.
hawk tuah reference???! 0:22
The only reason he got arrested is because one or more of the victims are rich and powerful people. If no one with any money or power had gotten scammed by him he would still be free
You one of the few who knows how it really goes out here. The world only works if you can afford it.
Makes sense. You have a point.

Charlie, do you think this will effect the trout population in treated locations?
It's a step in the right direction. I still think there are a lot of huge hurdles ahead for the prosecution team. This scammer is probably still able to afford a really good lawyer.
His lawyers were either all beginners or just people who wanted to see him go down. Ain't no way they allowed him to go on record with these QnAs.
