AllHere CEO could be imprisoned for 40 years (opens in new tab)

> On the other hand, whenever a Black person is successful, it's okay to mention that in the headline.

But I agree it's a bit off. For example it's OK for the NYT to mention that SBF is a genius and that he's an effective altruist in headlines as long as his ponzi is not exposed, but as soon as it's exposed, suddenly no mention of "effective altruism" (despite several people from that movement personally and illegally benefiting from "donations" from SBF [1]) nor any mention of "genius" anymore.

We're kind of used to headlines working that way.

[1] even years and maybe even decades later there's hope some of these funds shall be clawed back from these people though (people who suddenly now have a very low profile)

Of course it is, I’m all for giving leeway to a group that’s not doing as well as the others.

Which also makes about as much sense to me as a height-focused publication.

The specifics of the spending do matter. If she had spent the money within the company context, even on things that are personally lavish (eg private jet), it would have been harder to make the case for outright criminal fraud.

Yeah, the whole focus of this "reporting" is bizarrely twisted.

Also, based on the charges named in the article, the 40 years doesn't really make much sense, so even that is probably just based on adding up the max allowed sentence for each charge and multiplying by the number of counts.

Limits aren't just situational, some are physical.
