Can you imagine HOW bad a courthouse lawyer Sam Bankman-Fried is and how damaging towards her client his advice was for Sabrina Shroff to give this quote on the record to the NY Times?

Happy Boxing Day

Sabrina Shroff is perhaps the best defense attorney in the United States. She doesn't tend to answer a lot of press questions, and always puts the client's interests first.

That she went on the record this way says just how bad SBF is as a "jailhouse lawyer"

Hey @kenwhite.bsky.social
If you ever had a judge write this about you in an order, what would your reaction be:

We also have Big Mad judge going "You fucking liars keep lying to me"
December 11, 2025 at 4:00 PM
This is not pulling punches, this is the Judge going "You fucking lied to me you fucking liars"

IF I'm right about the AI hype this is really "let China waste a ton of money in return for a shakedown".

But if the AI race types are right, this is "give the Russians a bunch of Saturn Vs during the space race".

Neither is a good thing.

One of the things they did right: the bed walls can take cut lumber to create a wider flat bed for things like plywood, despite the relatively narrow wheelbase. It is like they actually built a small truck to do TRUCK things... So weird that it sells lots as a result.

Closest you can get is a Taco with a 6' bed. Although TBT don't discount the Maverick: It may be "just" a 4.5' bed, but you can still haul full-sized plywood in it as it rests on the wheel wells and the tailgate has a half-open setting.
