(im white but i see the preferential/un-preferential treatment of certain people)
You're seeing class treatment of people with money and connections.. a black guy with money and connections would have been treated in a similar fashion. If Will Smith or dare I say Bill Cosby did the same thing as SBF, he'd be treated the same. Stop making everything about race. *smh* Ross is in jail for how long? Must be because he's black.. oh wait, he's not.. nope, they were able to get his funds and didn't need him, and he had no real connections with powerful people, the color of his skin didn't matter.
As for SBF, more disappointment in the justice system.. we're heading towards this:
.. aaand he's gone.
It also depends on who the scammer stole money from. Sam Bankrupt-Fried's quick indictment and extradition was because he scammed the wrong people. Arthur Hayes is black, however, the punishment he received was only a slap on the wrist and he is presently allowed back to Bitmex.
Do Kwon and Su Zhu are Asian but scammed the right type of people. The normal cryptobros of the community and the ponzi scheme operators in the cryptospace. The government would not be quick to waste resources on them hehehe.
