SBF would still be on relatively lenient house arrest at his parent’s lovely Palo Alto home but he violated pretrial rules so many times (using forbidden encrypted communication channels, constantly giving interviews, manipulating witnesses) that he absolutely deserves being sent to jail.

I had access to a WeWork office for a while. It was fine for solo work or getting a couple of colleagues together for quiet conversations, but their meetings rooms sucked.
