  • Sam Bankman-Fried: The End

    “The government has sought to turn Sam into some sort of villain, some sort of monster,” Cohen said. “It’s both wrong and unfair.”

    Judge Kaplan is at times grotesque and being fearful of him is justified. At the same time, we should be grateful he is guarding that wall. Someone has to do it. But it is more about him earning the opportunity to be there. He is as good as it gets. He and others like him are the best we have.

    “This is not about complicated issues of cryptocurrency,” he said. “It’s about deception, it’s about lies, it’s about stealing, it’s about greed.”

    Same.

    “He spent his customers’ money, and he lied to them about it.”

    Again.

    This starts with Heather Graham and Sean Endsley. I received an email from Mr. Endsley, I think. I’ll get to that.

    The picture on the advertising post card is a house next to mine. It is an unusual neighborhood where people rarely move.

    Wow.

    I’m back but never left. Four years of Hostinger is now included here, as are all the years before that. It is a fresh start, but the past remains.

    1&1/Ionos made me an offer I couldn’t refuse–$12 and a domain name too, but only for a year. It is very fast. They do this, these companies. They have very enticing promos and then sock you with a renewal plan for three times the price. It is easier to start over. WordPress, for their part, has made it much easier to download and upload, and the database files are amazingly small. For me, 13 years of blog files are two databases of about 4-5MB each. And, the process now appears to include media uploads which was a bugaboo in the past.

    Above, the pic, is a gutter on my house. Enjoy!

  • And we’re back.  Phew!

    The trouble is, this entire site does not work on a smartphone.  Something has to be done and no, I do not want the blog to go right to pcpfeiffer.com.  It will still be pcpfeiffer.com/columns.

    That way I can still put other things on the site linked from the homepage.

     

    THE PROBLEM is this blog does not work on a smartphone.  No Android.  No iOS.  None!  Just a lot of security warnings and problems.

  • the whole story

    I used to be a truck driver delivering Coke in Detroit.  It was a Summer job and I got the worst routes and worst trucks, we’re talking West Grand Boulevard in Detroit, and the huge wads of cash were absolutely visible in my trousers.  The safes in the trucks did not work.  I was a Teamster!  I made a lot of money in a few months.

    I was never robbed.  Soda (we called it pop) was stolen as well as maybe a few rolls of coins (we were paid with those too), but I never had a serious encounter.

    Anyway, my goal was to get out of there and home as quickly as possible.  But if I did it every day for years I would have a different outlook.

    I understand, just a little, the FedEx guys and others lounging under a tree.  That is a small price to pay for living in a nice place.

    But this is different.  This is about corruption, and we’ll get to that in a while too.

    The dog ordinance is a simple thing.  It was enacted (renewed) in 2015.  It is available to all very easily.

    It has been simplified and strengthened since it began.  It has teeth.

    Animal Control is a name, scapegoat, and subsidiary of Sheriff Ted Mink Jeff Shrader.  All of this goes back to Shrader under Mink.  Shrader, as chief of patrol, led the infamous trespassing/criminal tampering crusade.

    Here is a picture of my backyard.

    Note the utility wires way up on the left above my neighbor’s fence.  I was arrested (summons) on fabricated charges of tampering with them.

    In the biggest picture possible it is the same as the FedEx truck snoozing under the willow trees.  However in this case they are Sheriff Shrader’s deputies.

    And here is the dog at large just to the right.  The deputies are responding to a 911–crime in progress–call, this time at a public park.  Soon after the deputies left without getting out of the giant SUVs.  They did nothing about the motorcyclist (throughout the day) or the U-haul trailer either.  The angry homeowner yelling at me from their frontyard is yet another part of the story.

    They did not return with two subsequent calls over the next several hours.

    Per the ordinance the director of Animal Control is in charge.  Note the word “Sheriff” at the top of the form.  Read further in “Animal Control Officer” and the definition referring-back to that of a sheriff’s deputy.  Anyway, the animal control director reports to the sheriff.

    The animal control director is not without blame.  The woman I spoke with during a subsequent, repeat, dangerous offender on 4/11/19 is the same woman at Animal Control who usually says “What do you want us to do, give them a warning?”  I’ll go back and read it again, but I do not recall anything in the ordinance about a warning.

    This is when I have to start using the word conspiracy, but much more on that, the laws, the E.P.R.D. and myriads of past history either later in this post or in another.  For now the solution is a Mandamus Claim Under C.R.C.P. 106(a)(2).  It is not an ordinary skill for a non-lawyer but it is not that difficult either.  Because of the above, 4/27/19 I know have twenty-eight more days.

    For now I’ll just say this seems like a clear directive from the board of commissioners.

    It is an interesting case,

    https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Former-Army-Ranger-seeks-Trump-pardon-13789413.php#photo-17271237,

    and this account differs from Wiki.

    Trump has been wrong before and will again.  Sometimes people need to be tough even if it is unconscionable, like maybe generals, but not retired generals.

    You don’t release someone and then go back and torture and kill them.  Even if your job is to fight, weed out, and investigate, you don’t do it on your own.

    He was convicted and he received what seems like a fair prison term.  The after-prison constraints seem unfair, but I guess they go along with being a felon.

    What struck me is he was just two years out of college.  They made him a lieutenant and group leader.  It is an awful position to be in, but he chose it.  Then he overstepped it.

    As for the former generals, politicians, and others, they should see the bigger picture.  You are not going to win in another country if you go around murdering and torturing people.

    I’ll start.  Fred Nau.  Craig no last name Assist 2 Sell.  Jennifer Franklin.  Kevin Bynar-sounding group.  Oh Gawd, the E.P.R.D. guy.

    Some names are withheld in order to protect the innocent.  Some are not.

    Ok, I will not expect you, 1 hour before the appt.

  • I wish comments weren’t closed on these articles of yours. I’m not a commenter online on these things, but people here (your site) are smart. I learned here somewhere the FAA is concerned only with 1 approving equipment and 2 routing in the air. I already know they are not a consumer organization. My idea is class action small claims; an oxymoron. The Scientologists did it with 2,200 lawsuits against the IRS and it worked. Anyway, that’s my idea, nationwide, and I wanted to post and refine it here! I, for one, have out of pocket expenses.
