SBF pleads Not Guilty and will spend 10 months in his ankle cufflet chillin and playing League of Legends… concurrently, the US Government has already moved to seize his $400 million stake in Robinhood.

Founder of Goober’s NFT comes out with apology while admitting to his gambling addiction and losing his shirt at Stake.com.

In the name of transparent, dissemination of information to keep you curious, inspired, and clinically sane…
