Quite enraging, although when thinking about details, the meme is perhaps only 90% accurate . OK, SBF is really at house arrest, so not exactly free - but it is still million times better than detained. SBF has given up his passport - great, but was Roman even given opportunity to do the same? (I don't know, but I doubt it, if they cite 4 passports as evidence for being flight risk) Not sure about SBF's money - are they frozen like Roman's, making his defense much more difficult? Maybe irrelevant, SBF can probably count on parents for funds.
Trial date: 14 Sep 2023 for Roman, so he had to spend more than 2 years in detention. 1 Oct 2023 for SBF, so less than a year in house arrest. If the system wanted some appearance of fairness, it would give priority to those with harsher pre-trial conditions. I know, different courts, but still, such difference in their workload? And Roman's case seems quite simple - little if any evidence against Roman, so what takes so long? There can be devil in the details, hypothetically it could be Roman's defense filing many motions and slowing things down. Perhaps this is not that relevant, and Roman should not even have been arrested, let alone put to trial.
I think the major reason for this treatment of Roman is that "his" crime (let's pretend the accusation is true, just to formulate the idea) is against the state, its control, its authority. Millions defrauded customers? Who cares? Providing privacy? How dares he (or whoever founded Bitcoin Fog)?
