They really ought to put a cap on how much people and corporations can donate to political parties.
I’d be happy with zero dollars, however that might be unrealistic

Could a congressional subpoena even result in any punishment? I presume so, but no idea.
Presumably, a subpoena can lead to a criminal referral by the committee. Then it's up to the DOJ to decide whether to prosecute.
Nice that SBF won't be called, so that, should he refuse to testify, he doesn't have to suffer the indignity of being held in contempt of congress and being jailed just like
Lois LernerEric HolderSteve Bannon.(Insert GIF of Waters blowing a kiss to SBF here: _______________)

I just presume that “they” will charge him, and he will go to jail. Not sure who “they” is, maybe they are a he/she.

I'm waiting for more information before making any judgments. But at this stage, I can't help but feel that SBF is a jerk.

Federal prosecutors will almost certainly charge him at some point and congressional hearing would not really facilitate that process anyway.
Assuming the hypothetical scenario where we had a functional Congress, the utility of hearings would be to help Congress determine what kinds of regulations might be necessary for crypto.
In the world we actually live in, hearings are just an opportunity for members to perform in front of the cameras.

Similar to the Theranos investors. Part investment, part social climb. With both parts at risk.

So this is a good time to buy, right?

Why should his parent’s pick up or even help with the legal fees? He is an adult, regardless whether or not he behaves like one.
He made his own bed and now he must sleep in it.

Maybe mom was laundering more than just his small clothes? Their money is his money and they are concerned about it being confiscated?
