This idea that there are “special” and “normal” people in society lacks nuance. Clearly SBF isn’t a financial genius or even a good businessman for that matter. Class is rarely a function of merit, and most people who harbor resentment towards those at the highest level of society often have little desire to replace them. Do you think the French Revolution or any other scenario in history in which the people called for heads was driven by jealousy? Unfortunately sometimes an example has to be made to affect change in society. I believe people in this thread calling for SBFs head are doing so in order to make a statement about the severity of his crimes and the need for significant consequences. I highly doubt anyone is seriously suggesting he receive the death penalty.
