  I can’t believe Atrioc put the Ponzi scheme iceberg on his podcast channel, and made his cohosts do most of the work. If you ask me, that might be history’s biggest scam

  3 lawyers argue that their clients are guilty while 3 other corrupt judges do their best to ignore financial crimes.

  This is that sort of "slow news day" Lemonade Stand episode that you just know is going to be met with a massive global event in a few hours

  Atriocs scam of a stream schedule is probably the worst

  The Bernie Madoff line "There is no innocent* explanation for this - I was running a massive Ponzi scheme" is legendary, I couldn't stop laughing when I heard it

  It’s a bit corrupt for atrioc to rule the south sea company not guilty when he obviously probably was involved in its fraud in his youth in 1711

  My law school textbook has Madoff’s case in it to teach about how judges decide sentencing. His lawyer asked for Madoff to get exactly enough prison time so that he’d be able to get out of jail for the last year or two of his life as an old man and spend it with his family before he died. The judge essentially responded by saying Madoff ruined so many people’s lives and even ended them early by his crimes (when you manage pensions and retirement funds and lose them, those people all the sudden have 0 retirement and are probably fucked), that he can rest in piss. Lmao
