This is the best summary I could come up with:
Sam Bankman-Fried aspired to one day become president of the United States, his ex-girlfriend and former Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison testified in court Tuesday.
“He said there was a 5% chance he might be president someday,” Ellison said on the witness stand in the criminal trial against the disgraced crypto mogul.
In her testimony in a downtown Manhattan federal courtroom, the 28-year-old Ellison said Bankman-Fried shared his ambitions with her during their relationship, which moved in fits and starts over the course of about three years.
The two met while working at Jane Street, a quantitative investment firm, while Ellison was an intern and Bankman-Fried was a trader.
Last week, Bankman-Fried’s biographer, Michael Lewis, revealed that the FTX cofounder even considered paying Donald Trump not to run for office in the 2024 presidential election.
A spokesperson for Trump told Insider’s Lloyd Lee that SBF has been “outed as a fraudster and someone that can’t be trusted.”
The original article contains 467 words, the summary contains 156 words. Saved 67%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Getting called a fraudster by Trump… damn that’s got to hurt. How much humiliation can SBF take? What’s next? His mom talks to the press about his bed wetting as a kid?
Trump call literally everyone who doesn’t kiss his ass a liar (“Fraudster” is too hard to say).
Tell ya what. That’s a weird lookin’ gal.
Don’t do meth yo
It’s more to do with the courtroom artist doing mushrooms.
Edvard Munch has to pay the bills somehow.
She’s got a kinda primordial dwarf thing going on.
I’m really not turned on.

I think the courtroom artist improved upon what he had to work with.
Really earning the artist part of his title.
Heat must be turned way up. Wax is melting.
And SBF isn’t weird looking?
Oh yeah… he’s kinda wobbly looking too. Bad AI vision.
Given the other two she clearly pissed off the court illustrator somehow
My man had an overinflated ego…
I think that’d happen to anyone when people are literally handing you billions of dollars.
Worth noting that “con man” is short for “confidence man”. Inflated egos help with the confidence needed to trick people out of money.
Thanks for the info.
They are lying you just got conned!

“I was playing bronze 3 league of legends during the debate”
I don’t think SBF has enough criminal allegations to be president. He hasn’t even grabbed someone by the pussy.
He did grab Caroline Ellison’s pussy. But I guess if it’s consensual it doesn’t count.
This gal is by far the most goblin looking creature I’ve ever seen. A bit mean, not very relevant, but lmao it’s fascinating to me.
And good lord, this Bankman-Fried, he’s getting overcooked to a crisp.
I believe other commentators described her as a wood nymph
lol, a nymph isn’t exactly the first thing that comes to my mind but some creature or another sure
You mean like a termite nymph?

This is why you don’t give the fae anything.
He’s using the trump defense. “I might be president one day!” so the judge goes “Oh, in that case, we’re done here, can’t be prosecuting the future President of the United States, case dismissed” and then Einstein appears and gives SBF $100% and an bald eagle weeps a single tear and they go for pizza and cheeseburgers.
You call this erotic fiction? Bwa!
S…s…senpai…I can’t hold it in anymore uWu
Is Scrotus short for Scrotius?
What do you think, cheese-grater (I shortened yours - you’re welcome)?
