Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Caroline Ellison has been sentenced to two years in jail for her role in the collapse of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX, which has been described as one of biggest financial frauds in US history.

Ellison was a top executive at the firm and is also the ex-girlfriend of its founder, Sam Bankman-Fried, who was sentenced to 25 years in prison for stealing $8bn (£6.3bn) from customers.

As part of a plea deal, Ellison admitted charges including wire fraud and money laundering, and testified against Bankman-Fried.

It most definitely is, but I understand that. I haven't personally defrauded people or tried to start a weird harem cult with a bunch of horned up crypto bros. I'm an asshole, yeah, and I understand that makes me undesirable. I just feel like morally, she's shittier than I am

This could be one of the lamest attempts to bail one's self out that I've ever seen.

And to think she was allegedly getting more play than I have my whole life. Bizarre

You should have just deleted your original comment, as you know exactly what dig you were making, and that it had absolutely nothing to do with differences in ethics.

Don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining.

I feel you're implying that I was insulting her looks. It's a fair assumption, but it's incorrect. Insulting her appearance is shallow and lazy and she has limited control over her looks, besides, I would be inadvertently insulting anyone else who happens to look like her. I am insulting her personality. She's a vile person who treats people like garbage, that can be seen through her messages and posts that got exposed through this whole ordeal.

I'm implying nothing.

telling you exactly that your original comment is you taking a shot at her based on her looks. Absolutely no one is buying your alternate explanation.

Your attempt to backpedal from it makes you look even more weak than your original comment.

All of this easily overshadows your unprompted declaration that you don't get laid much.

Sure, I've tried my best to explain away the assumption and it seems I'm not getting anywhere. have a good one!

Because you're being dishonest. Cheerio!
