the lawyer in me is screaming what the fuck is wrong with him.

the rest of me is smirking.

Same here. It’s like a train wreck I’m looking forward to.

bworsowicz.bsky.social•492 days ago

Was it "fuck yeah he's gonna testify" or more of a "the client says he wants to testify so I guess we're doing that"

reverendmayhem.bsky.social•492 days ago

With one notable exception in my experience, it is always the latter.

ohiohawkeye.bsky.social•492 days ago

This seems from the outside like the dumbest legal maneuver ever, but hell I’m not a lawyer. (Godspeed to those poor saps.)

drprunesquallor.bsky.social•492 days ago

I’m a retired lawyer and I’m here to say you are absolutely right.

(Tomorrow, sounds like)

billstewart.bsky.social•492 days ago

Somebody tell Trump it's a good idea too!

And tomorrow's not STFU Friday, so it'll be ok!

By which he means "play League of Legends during the entire trial".

I feel for the prosecutor who will have to go through the transcript line by line investigating every single statement and hoping, praying, that SBF tells enough truth that the number of perjury counts stays manageable.

jonhegglund.bsky.social•492 days ago

just sitting in the stand and responding to every question by reading aloud from Going Infinite

picardsteacup.bsky.social•492 days ago

people getting excited for this will quickly realize how boring SBF really is as a person

jasonpaul.bsky.social•493 days ago

When?

spanishspy.bsky.social•492 days ago

Waiting for SBF to pull a Jared Fogle

"Alexa, define the phrase "And their ilk."

"OK. "And their ilk" Legalese. From the English "what a bunch of dumbasses."

friskydingus.bsky.social•492 days ago

How did I never hear about this omg

zeroisanumber.bsky.social•492 days ago

The only thing funnier than this would be if Trump decided to testify.

madthad.bsky.social•492 days ago

What a dumb-dumb.

alexis8.bsky.social•492 days ago

Will it be televised 🍿

calizaybak.bsky.social•493 days ago

I guess his lawyer is all "Well it's not like you could make it any worse than you already have...".

dustinn.bsky.social•492 days ago

I think there’s a good chance his lawyers have told him not to do this

sfaccountant.bsky.social•493 days ago

Presumably he will be playing Fortnight the entire time.
