The co-founder of failed cryptocurrency exchange FTX pleaded not guilty to a seven count indictment charging him with wire fraud, securities fraud and money laundering.
An attorney for FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried said in federal court Tuesday his client has to subsist on bread, water and peanut butter because the jail he’s in isn’t accommodating his vegan diet.
This article isn’t really addressing the mechanism for punishment, just the reasons why we do it. Like, whether it’s a couple of brothers or a taxpayer funded bureaucratic prison system, if we’re punishing someone just because we think they deserve it it’s retribution.
Beyond that, I feel like what you just described is actually just a step backwards from where we’re at currently. Like, why should people who aren’t privileged enough to have brothers not get the same kind of justice as people who do?
i imagine everyone has someone who would go to bat for them. it was just an example of ways that people organically take retribution which i am fine with
