I didn’t say it couldn’t.
I merely gave my opinion as to how I see the SBF situation as posed by another poster, and others’ gave theirs.

Missing from the moral compass is because their parents didn’t believe in it. See the link to his mom’s essay, no blame.
Lawyers sometimes defend the indefensible. Economists sometimes try to figure out the most efficient ways to get rich. Maybe there’s a connection…
I’m just kidding.

I was really observing the pedigree of Sbf and his girlfriend’s parents.
All kids do dumb things. Mine do. I hope it’s not bad parenting.
But these are distinguished professors so I was creating something to elicit discussion.
I don’t know his parents and noted it may not be.
I can see anyone truly believing with their brilliance that they can cure any hiccup. I’m sure he did too. When you are brilliant and sitting on a stage in shorts, thinking you are cool, next to Bill Clinton and Tony Blair and hanging with Gisele, I’m sure it’s likely an issue he thought he could control and became out of his league.
It’s an interesting thought In many ways, I do believe, parents are at least in part responsible. Acts of prejudice. Even if just words…
In this case …he’s 30. He’s on magazine covers. It’s likely just him but a point I thought interesting to discuss.

It’s more than embarrassment that son of 2 Stanford professors is jailed for the classic case of embezzlement.

Looks like mom and dad especially were more than just encouraging parents…
