Convictions and Short Memories

Sam Bankman-Fried was convicted today. He was the poster child of the crypto-frauds. I am only sorry that more won’t be held to the same account.

The core reality is that his conviction is a drop in the bucket. It does nothing to help the people suckered by his get-rich quick schemes. It does nothing to curb the ongoing garbage spewing from the self-appointed geniuses running everything into the ground in order to prop themselves up.

We don’t get to pat ourselves on the back here. This was not a victory. SBF was an easy sacrifice. The core problems that led to his rise still remain.

NaNoWriMo 2023

A quick aside - I am doing NaNoWriMo this year.

I am focused more on getting back into the habit of writing. I am not sure what form it will take. I really want to start posting more and am hoping this month can help with that. I am also considering moving to a different platform, but that can be decided after this month is over.

I am thinking I will start with daily updates starting tomorrow (November 3rd). A form of accountability (even unto a void) helps.
