He’ll get pardoned. It’s a Thiel company.

Maybe he shouldn’t have been arrested in the first place?

I’m willing to let the government make their case, but let’s not pretend that a 6am raid from the feds is better than getting arrested.

A 6am raid from the feds is better than getting arrested. It is.

Actually, it's not. As someone who has been both raided by the feds and been arrested. Being raided is way more traumatic and gave me PTSD. Being arrested is easy as fuck. Being raided involves fully armed people busting into your home and tearing it apart and seizing all of your electronics.

Makes sense.

Would you be willing to share more about any of those situations?
