Is it deliberate that I've never seen a media outlet publish a flattering photo of her?

That said, when the movie is inevitably released they'll probably cast Scarlett Johansson or Cailee Spaeny as her.

Nearly all of the photos of her I can find are of her walking to and from a car. The others (which were very few and only one of which I thought was a good photo) seem like social media pics that news agencies probably couldn't publish. That does make more challenging to get a good picture of her, but I have a hard time believing they couldn't have done better that the one at the top of the article. It's particularly bad.

just looks like a normal person who is not posing for a photo, not some influencer

That's just how she looks. Hence all the "pin the weasel" mockery.

literally my first thought every time I read an article about her. She's either the least photogenic person ever, or this is intentional.

Some people are just not aesthetically pleasing.

So you can always get away with fraud?

She's still serving her sentence. Just not in prison.

As for why it is so short, that's her reward for helping them get SBF.

The interesting question is, will her career/business ventures suffer from here onwards?

Curious how much of her ill-gotten gains she will keep.

It's hard to keep up a skin care routine in the can.

From being one of the richest men, to being sold to a lifetime of prison by your mid gf. What a wild ride!

There is no honor among thieves, and there is even less honor in women who often turn out to be legal thieves.

That should be a warning to any man, but of course that's not politically correct to say.

At the end of the day she and the other members of the board who took the plea bargain are basically keeping most of the money, right?

I know I'm basically in conspiracy territory here, but I can't stop thinking this was planned well beforehand and SBF was just the biggest moron they could find as the fall guy. Like, if what they say about him is remotely true they could've planned everything while he was playing LoL during meetings or something.

This seems such a bizarre statement to make about Europeans, which isn’t…in anyway true? Europeans start working straight out of school, college, or university same as the US?

Beautifully lampooned in "In The Loop" when the US Assistant Secretary of State fobs the UK Director of Communications off with one of his 'top guys'.

MALCOLM I’ve just had a briefing from a 9-year old child... His f*ing briefing notes were written in Alphabetti Spaghetti. When I left I nearly tripped over his umbilical cord.

LINTON I’m sorry if it troubles you that our people achieve excellence at a young age... By the way, your prime minister informs me that he’s tasked you with collating some fresh British intel for us.

MALCOLM Yeah, apparently your f*ing master race of gifted toddlers can’t quit get the job done in between breast feeds and playing with their power rangers.

She's hardly the average person, is she? High IQ enough to get a job at Jane Street and then constantly swimming in these elite networks at Stanford, Jane Street and whatever that weird EA thing is supposed to be.

If you do a BSc in Math in Europe and you have some olympiad creds, you have a good shot of joining Optiver or similar, and go from there.
