We check in on a forgotten friend, Sam Bankman-Fried, on the eve of his big trial for one of the largest frauds in history. But this time with a nice addition of the freak beat as SBF\u2019s parents enter the scene and come to his defense. On one hand, the legal defense for SBF is that he is just a dumb oaf who made some stupid mistakes. On the other, the moral defense for SBF, fronted by his parents, is that he is a big beautiful boy who is literally incapable of speaking \u201can untruth.\u201d\n\nStuff we reference\n\u2022\u2022\u2022 If It's Doomsday This Must Be Belfast https://captainplanet.fandom.com/wiki/If_It%27s_Doomsday_This_Must_Be_Belfast \n\u2022\u2022\u2022 Inside Sam Bankman-Fried\u2019s Family Bubble https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/10/02/inside-sam-bankman-frieds-family-bubble \n\nSubscribe to hear more analysis and commentary in our premium episodes every week! https://www.patreon.com/thismachinekills \n\nHosted by Jathan Sadowski (www.twitter.com/jathansadowski) and Edward Ongweso Jr. (www.twitter.com/bigblackjacobin).
