csunbird··on SEC Sues Binance and CEO Zhao for Breaking US Securities Rules
Any sane person who realizes that their job is to be thrown under the bus has two options: Either go along with it and be a conspirator, secure your means of getting away, or start talking to the law enforcement to cover your ass.

csunbird··on Turkish presidential candidate quits race after release of alleged deepfake
In case of Turkish politicians, they are all claiming to be following the religion of Islam and it is forbidden to have non-marital sex in Islam religion.

Such tapes can definitely end someones political career very swiftly in Türkiye.

Unfortunately, someone claiming not to be following Islam religion is not going to be elected at all, but maybe this will change into the future, so that religion stops being criteria to be elected.

Maybe one day...
