The SEC allegations: My team evaluated every promotion based on management, business plans and potential. No one could have foreseen the altcoin market crash. We were paid in the same coins that crashed. The SEC allegations are overblown.

Much of the new allegations from the Feds are about my "coin of the day". For a few days in 2017 I chose coins I believed had value. One of them was Doge - now being touted years later by Elon Musk. The coin has increased well over 1000% since I chose it. Not a pump and dump.
The charges against me are absolutely ridiculous. I am being used as a scapegoat for the US to crackdown on crypto. This is an attack on all crypto. This is purely and simply the truth. These are my lead attorneys in my pursuit for justice. https://t.co/fNrwBfb5kT
A young man sits, In a corner of the prison yard, Head in hands, As if to keep the world out. Or his thoughts in. 14 years for dealing drugs. 14 years.
Men with nothing. Nothing to gain. Nothing to lose. Bartering a shirt for a pair of worn out shoes. Begging favors. Threatening retaliation. A society of animosity, boredom and frustration. This is prison. And it animates the darkside of the human soul.
Across the table a man sits. 24 years he's lived between these 4 walls. Vacant eyes catch mine, And for a moment I glimpse the accumulated misery of those years. Then he looks away, Lost again in his private thoughts.
Laws made by those who ignore them, Twisted and used to silence those who oppose the makers. And I, tangled in their web, Will be a warning: Meekly accept your vanishing privacy and freedoms, Or the wrath of power Will be leashed upon you too.
Small businesses collapsing. Freedom of movement restricted. Public assembly assaulted. Countries now closing borders. Not just to keep people out. But to keep their own citizens from leaving. Shades of the iron curtain. Yes there is a pandemic. But it is a pandemic of fear.
No one owns truth. It evolves through discourse and facts revealed in time. The Earth was once the center of the Universe. Any fool could see the heavens revolve around it - an obvious truth. Truth evolves. Who owns the truth of vaccines?
If prison did not exist it would require the combined talents of David Lynch, Quentin Tarantino and the Marquis de Sade to conceive it.
Prison is a world unto itself. Where all human emotions are exaggerated by the boredom and frustration of confinement. Anger, violence, hatred, revenge... All with short fuses ignited by the tiniest spark. The thin veneer of civilization stripped to the bone.
A new world. Composed of a masked society. Touching elbows as a greeting. Each afraid of the other. An invisible threat. Designed by nature. To endlessly mutate. Fueling the fear. Of all human decisions and actions Those driven by fear are the most destructive.
