But the bigger question at least to me, even if the guy was cool with the idea of his images be used on videogames... was it ok for Valve to not tell players about it? not throw a note in the credits or something? Because dunno, it just feels awkward, what if someone used the model for some silly garry’s mod video, or…

We have a couple designers that work from home in Ukraine... and it makes me beyond sad that they’re in a position where they have to confirm they’re still ok at the start of a zoom session.

I thought TikTok used to say “US data is safe from China. The data isn’t available to China.

Researched it (I was wrong)but they still screwed the pouch and their claim 6 months ago is still being worked on I guess. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/07/01/tiktok-says-its-working-to-protect-user-data-from-chinese-employees.html

Steal billions? You better go to your room, mister!

Guy wages illegal war, occupies sovereign nation, whines like a bitch when he gets hurt.  Bleed out, fucker.

NPR did a deep dive on his parents last week.  As a part of it, I can’t remember if it was Peter Thiel or Jeff Bozos (probably Thiel), but one of the two of them directly credited Joseph Bankman’s tax law class for inspiring his personal wealth tax-dodging strategy.

Wait... the guy leading Scam Bankrupt-Fraud by the arm is a MARSHAL?! ‘Cuz he looks one gold chain away from a baseball-bat-and-back-alley kind of guy

Grounded!

This.

So, his parents are potentially complicit in this and he is staying with them? 

Is it bad if I don’t feel sorry for this jerkbag?

I do wonder if he ended up in Donetsk by choice.

If this is what they are ADMITTING to, imagine what they’re hiding/not admitting. This is just some security theater / breadcrumbs to appease the easily handwaved away. 

I have to presume that you don’t go to your friendly neighbourhood bail bondsman for that kind of dosh, even if you have the $2.5 mil CASH to put up. The rich are different.

To all the “crypto-bros” a year ago touting how crypto is out of the hands of “big gov’t regulations”:

That is a damn shame.

So he paid the $250m bond from the money he stole? Gobless`Merica!

Now, My question is, why a bail? and 250 millions to someone who was accused of Fraud, and no one questions where the money is coming from? 

If they actually manage to get Trump in court for anything it’ll be taking those documents home. This shit’s already dragged on longer than Watergate even though Trump’s crimes aren’t nearly as well hidden as Nixon’s.

“Pretty damning stuff, but what does that mean legally for the ex-President?”
