This is such a bizarre view. Allowing him to explain himself in his own words (a) lets him create lies that are difficult to worm his way out of further down the road and (b) lets journalists cross reference what he's saying with anonymous sources - who may be less willing to cooperate with the law lest the sources incriminate themselves - and challenge SBF with that information, a process which beautifully crystallised during SBF's latest interview with Coffeezilla in a Twitter space where he was challenged on several statements which appear to be lies, and led to extremely uncomfortable squirming from SBF.
This position of yours is so weird. Yes, if someone does quality journalism, like Fong and Coffeezilla have done, then they do earn clout from that. What's the problem there? The person who is at the centre of the story should be allowed to give their side of the story, "Bad person bad, no I won't talk to them" is not useful journalism.
Also, this should go without saying but the bizarre stalking that Bitboy did is obviously unacceptable harassment, and the vulture-like tactics of others is not helpful and not what I'm condoning here.
