The Price of Justice

This soliloquy reflects on the story of SBF being extradited from the Bahamas after "some hiccups" were noted by FTX prosecutors and Ellison expressing sorrow for his actions, as well as US judge recusing herself from the case. It questions whether justice will be served or if Ellison's wealth and power will allow him to escape punishment for his crime.

Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive! A man of wealth and power thought he could outrun the law. He fled to the Bahamas, but his actions caused a draw. The prosecutors saw his hiccups and Ellison was truly sorry. But it was too late for him, for justice had been sought in a hurry. The judge recused herself from this case of such high stakes. And now the fate of Ellison lies in the hands of fate. Will justice be served? Will he pay the price? Or will his money save him twice? Only time will tell if this man can escape his crime's demise.
