Something about cutting down all the trees (or walls) to get at Satan comes to mind. I think neo has a few posts about it.

When citizens become convinced that the system is totally rigged against them, they will take matters into their own hands. They won’t be wrong to do so. Oh, they will be considered criminals by the corrupt, dishonest system. But ….

And yet very powerful in shaping public opinion.

Truly ugly.

The moral rot is so deep. If you profess to agree with the totalitarian left on politics, they consider you to be morally good and undeserving of any punishment regardless of how abhorrent your acts (including murder). If you disagree with the totalitarians, you are undeserving of any civil rights or constitutional protections even when innocent of any wrongdoing.

They are deeply sick.

Madoff also started out as an “effective altruist.” He wanted to spare his clients the loss of assets when the market turned down (though there is a self-interested side to that as well). It wasn’t a Ponzi scheme from the very beginning. Something similar may have happened with SBF. As the sums involved get bigger and more mind-boggling, maybe his mind got boggled? As he discovered how easy and how fun it is to fool people, did fooling become his main motivation?

I thought it was funny that Judge Jeanine could have been saying “the Democrats’ second biggest donor” or “the Democrats’ second biggest stoner.” Either label seems to fit. I could see how strange the tone of Maxine Waters’ tweet was, but is it really a smoking gun?

The MSM would be screaming to see him perp-walked out of his Bahamas hideaway.

New York State is currently trying the former CFO of the Trump Organization because certain employees thereof did not report their company perquisites as income. OTOH, John Corzine and his minions got off scot free for raiding customer accounts. This nation’s prosecutors are a repellent bunch, as are the judges who enable them.
