People I normally respect have bought in on some crazy-ass conspiracy theories. Elon, Balaji, PMarca... all super smart, and all tweeting crazy shit. I did some research to see why people get hooked on conspiracy theories: https://www.charterless.com/p/do-your-own-research-the-psychology

sure, - Balaji on SBF's delayed-arrest (it must be because he donated money and not because a massive financial fraud case takes longer than 24 hours to generate a winning case for...). - Marc Andreesen on WEF paranoia. And claiming that there was some kind of mainstream alliance in favor of Ehrlich's pop bomb theory.

SBF: do you think his political donations affected his post-FTX implosion treatment at all? WEF: can argue over semantics, but elites love overpopulation fear-mongering: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Club_of_Rome twitter.com/landnoli/status/1340180992255008770 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Security_Study_Memorandum_200

For his media coverage? 100% it did. For the US justice system -- not a chance. Every prosecutor wants that win. It's high profile and career making. (And I'll admit, I hate Gary Gensler enough that I assign some bad intent to failing to investigate before the collapse...)
