    Hard to make the case that Binance is much different with BNB, various flavors of Binance chain and all the various dog/cat meme coins.

  2. JUST the platform. JUST the fucking software. JUST the trading engine. THAT is ALL I am saying.
    I don't know anything about the mm's or anything like that. The trading platform actually worked well.
    Please go put words in someone else's mouth. Mine is full already.

  3. Wikipedia, eh?
    I think I'll look elsewhere for information about Ben Swann.
    Lol. Try CNN - heard they cater to normies!

    That is easy:

    Is 110 years long enough for you? Also any big enough drug lord who got convicted, like El Chapo.

    Minimum 9.5 years, unless she runs away. For federal crimes you have to serve 85%, do the math.

    Sure Allen Stanford qualifies. Certainly not Guzman, I am talking about the American elite. Billionaires and those who amassed hundreds of millions through illegal schemes. If you now include heads of the mafia then perhaps that is a better reflection of how you see the elite.

    We heard that enough of times. Let's get back to this once Holmes leaves prison then we can do a count.

    Fact remains, a tiny fraction of the rich ever spend more than a decade in prison for crimes that affected thousands or hundreds of thousands. In contrast, small crime guys are incarcerated and often times sit out their prison terms for a lengthy period of time. Most of the times though those elites don't ever make it to prison. They often times settle privately in exchange for financial payments. Great Justice system you got there. Largest incarceration rate in the developed world but rich white collar criminals hardly ever make their way to prison. The statistics are clear on this. How many of the 2008 financial crisis ever got sentenced for prison terms?

    I was in a group chat with him and a few dozen others over a year ago. I asked him a polite but legitimate question about one of his "Samcoin" projects. Not only did he not respond, but I was muted (although not kicked out of the chat). Told me everything I needed to know.
