I haven’t taken a position on these individuals. I will say that post-conviction pardoning campaigns are fake and ghey and we should direct our energy at the disease not the symptoms. If they hadn’t made a tremendous amount of money from their software while publicly encouraging it be used for crimes, I might have an easier time taking a position. But trying to plead for favors from our tyrants makes me sick to my stomach. William Wallace cried for freedom, not mercy.

Wasn’t the cry all Hollywood? 😆 if I were dragged for 6 miles by a horse, I doubt I’d be able to say a single sound as I was hanging by the neck.
isnt it because of a post-conviction pardoning campaign that Ross isn't in jail anymore?
"we shouldn't direct our energy at the injustice that's already been done, we should concentrate on the system tjat caused the injustice"
is a reasonable take.
but why not do both? 🤨
I don't fully agree here, but I do agree that post conviction pardoning campaigns almost pointless here. Considering almost the whole case hinges on them being a money transmitter (something FINSEN said they were not by design, but were prosecuted for anyway) shows that they were going to be made an example of no matter what IMO.
But I will say I am disgusted by the people saying they got what they deserved though just because they were the "mean red wallet".
Reminds me too much of arsonist-firefighters
"Oh you want me to fix the problem I caused?"
