The co-founder of failed cryptocurrency exchange FTX pleaded not guilty to a seven count indictment charging him with wire fraud, securities fraud and money laundering.
An attorney for FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried said in federal court Tuesday his client has to subsist on bread, water and peanut butter because the jail he’s in isn’t accommodating his vegan diet.
Semantics.
And the whole debate is asinine anyway because
he already has PBJs and PBJs are given specifically as a vegan option.
he doesn’t have the right to be vegan when he’s locked up
you don’t have the right to exploit crime threads to push your shitty political agenda.
This thread is not about you, not about vegans, and you coming in here brigading and unethically deciding the fact that a dude who stole billions is claiming to be vegan (whether that claim is true or false) is more important than justice and literally everyone else is unacceptable, get the fuck out of the thread
so then all the meat eaters are going to be forced to be vegan? becuase they don’t have a right to be meat eaters like they would on the outside.
it’s not semantics. he hasn’t been convicted
what political agenda do you think i’m pushing?
who is brigading?
You. Unless you think we haven’t noticed you’re hiding behind a debate about the importance of punishment, the viability and legitimacy of the prison system and abuses of the U.S. prison system in a situation that has nothing to do with them because you’re trying to promote veganism.
Do you think we are stupid?
i’ve never been accused of that. i’m usually accused of being antivegan.
you might be stupid if you think i’m promoting veganism.
Fr it’s not even subtle
this is more hand waving and innuendo.
It’s weird though. It’s literally just the guy you were talking to, and another who’s account is only a couple hours old and solely has comments on this post.
Seems a little suspicious is all.
fediverse is still new, and this was on Hot. How is it surprising that someone wants to comment on an actually active topic?
It’s weird that every single comment he made would have exactly 3 upvotes only an hour after posting on a 2 day old thread, deep within a comment chain of nearly 20 back and forths.
But maybe not, honestly it’s possible you’re right. It was just pretty suspicious.
i can literally say anything i want. what are you going to do about it?
i don’t believe in rights, but there is no reason he can’t be vegan
