SBF faces 155 years in prison if convicted of fraud and money laundering

Prosecutors say he used FTX as a 'personal piggy bank' to fund his lavish lifestyle

He also made enormous donations to the Democratic party and President Biden

Disgraced FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried has been denied bail as he fights extradition to the United States in the Bahamas after being charged with one of the 'biggest financial frauds in American history'.

Bankman-Fried is accused of defrauding investors out of $1.8billion by convincing them his trading platform FTX was safe to use. He has been holed up in the Bahamas for weeks, but today was denied bail after prosecutors argued in court that he was a flight risk.

They claimed he hid $300million in a Brazilian fund in September, months before the collapse of his crypto trading platform, as a means of setting himself up for an escape when the inevitable happened.

SBF, 30, protested, telling Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt he couldn't go to jail because he is vegan and 'depressed.' His lawyers had been seeking bail of $250,000.

She however denied him bail, remanding him in custody until February 8. He will spend his detention at Fox Hill, The Bahamas' only prison. The jail is known for overcrowding and unsanitary conditions.

Rate of detransition among 'trans' youth higher than activists claim

At the Re/Detrans Canada event held last month at York University in Ontario, recent studies were revealed that show detransition rates up to nearly 30 percent.

In pediatric gender clinics all over the West, parents are often told two things. The first is that if they don’t affirm their child’s identity and consent to experimental puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, their child is at a high risk of suicide; and the second is that almost no one regrets the decision to medically transition.

There is no solid evidence to support the former, and new emerging data revealed at a recent conference appears to discredit the latter.

At the Re/Detrans Canada event held last month at York University in Ontario, researcher Kinnon Ross MacKinnon gave a presentation which included recent studies that show detransition rates far higher than the oft-cited “less than 1 percent” statistic that proponents of gender-affirming care for minors are so fond of repeating.

Several studies were presented with detransition rates ranging from 2 percent to almost 30 percent. One study from the Netherlands showed a detransition rate of just 2 percent, whereas a similar study from the US showed an almost 30 percent detransition rate. Neither of these studies looked at the reasons for discontinuing medical transition.

Judicial Watch President says the government should be banned from asking Big Tech to censor people

'We can ban the government from asking Big Tech companies to take stuff down,' Tom Fitton said

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton says that the best way to stop censorship is to make sure that the government can't contact social media platforms and encourage or work with them to censor people.

"We can ban the government from asking Big Tech companies to take stuff down," Fitton said on Tuesday's edition of the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show. "We don't even have to debate changing the law or how Big Tech companies operate. Just stop the government from censoring us."

Fitton said that something Congress can do in terms of legislating is working on improving Section 230, which states that "No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider."

"I think Congress can perfect Section 230 to make it clear," he said. "It doesn't allow for political censorship. Although the courts are probably hesitant to do this thus far — properly interpret Section 230."

"To make it clear, it's designed to help companies take off violence from their internet sites, or pornography," Fitton continued. "It's not designed to give them an outlet to censor people and act as editors on people's thoughts about public policy debates."
